Remove Cydia apps - how it works

If you want to remove Cydia apps, this unfortunately does not work as usual in normal iOS. We'll show you how it's done.

Delete Cydia apps

You can delete installed apps in Cydia itself - but this is a bit cumbersome and often takes a long time if you want to delete multiple apps.

1. Open Cydia and click on the "Manage" menu item below.
2. Select the "Packages" category.
3. Find the app you want and select it.
4. Tap the "Remove" button at the top right.

Alternative: Remove Cydia apps with CyDelete

1. Open Cydia and tap "Search" in the bottom right corner.
2. Enter "CyDelete" (without quotation marks) and select the search result.
3. Tap Install in the top right corner and wait for the process to finish.

Delete apps as usual

Now you can leave Cydia and delete the apps as usual:

1. Hold your finger on an app until all the apps start shaking.
2. Tap the cross on the top left of the app and confirm your selection.
3. After a short wait, the app is deleted.
