How to Delete Cydia Apps in iOS 7 like Regular Apps (Video)

It can be a little cumbersome to remove Cydia apps and tweaks once you no longer want them. Having to go into Cydia, then Manage, then Packages, then find the app and click on it, then click Modify, then click Remove can feel a bit outdated. Thanks to a jailbreak tweak called Cydelete7, you can easily uninstall Cydia apps just like you do normal apps by holding down on them until they wiggle, then clicking the little X in the corner. Here’s how to install it.

I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad

To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our Jailbreak How To’s section and pick the jailbreak for your version of iOS (currently at the time of writing this is 7.0.4). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.

II. Install CyDelete7

1. Open Cydia (if it isn’t still open from the section above).

2. Tap Search in the bottom right corner.

3. Type in CyDelete7.

4. Tap on CyDelete7 when it shows up.

5. Tap Install in the top right corner.

6. Tap Restart.

III. Use CyDelete7

1. Simply hold down on any Cydia app on your home screen until it wiggles.

2. Tap the X on the icon to delete it just like your normal apps.
