If you’re having trouble uninstalling an app from your cydia install, don’t despair! This guide will show you how to remove a cydia app that won’t uninstall no matter what.
Introduction
We all know the frustration of trying to remove a cydia app that just won’t uninstall. Whether it’s because you installed it without thinking, or it’s just a buggy app, there are a few ways to get rid of it.
In this blog post, we’ll show you how to remove a cydia app that won’t uninstall using two different methods. First, we’ll show you how to use SSH to delete the files associated with the app. Then, we’ll show you how to use iFile to delete the files associated with the app.
Method 1: Deleting Files Using SSH
The first method is deleting the files associated with the app using SSH. For this method, you’ll need an SSH client (like Cyberduck or WinSCP) and an understanding of basic UNIX commands. If you’re uncomfortable using Terminal or don’t understand UNIX commands, we recommend skipping ahead to Method 2.
To start, open your SSH client and connect to your device. Once connected, navigate to /var/mobile/Applications/. Find the folder for the app you want to remove and delete it. In most cases, this will be enough to remove the app from your device. However, if the folder is still there after reboot or if you can’t find it in /var/mobile/Applications/, try deleting it from /private/var/stash/Applications/.
If neither of those locations work, try uninstalling any tweaks preventing Cydia from uninstalling apps properly. Once you’ve uninstalled those tweaks, try deleting the folder again from /private/var/stash/Applications/.
Method 2: Deleting Files Using iFile
If Method 1 didn’t work for you or if you’re uncomfortable using SSH, don’t worry! Another way to delete the files associated with the app is using iFile. iFile is a file manager for iOS devices that allows users to view, edit, and delete system files. It can be downloaded from Cydia for free (just search for “iFile” in Cydia).
Once iFile is installed on your device, launch it and navigate to /var/mobile/Applications/. Find the folder for the app you want to remove and delete it by tapping on “Delete” at the bottom right corner of iFile
What is Cydia?
Cydia is an app store for jailbroken iPhones and iPads. It contains many tweaks, themes, and apps that can’t be found in the App Store. Cydia is installed on your device when you jailbreak it.
If you want to remove a Cydia app that won’t uninstall, you need to first delete the app from Cydia. To do this, open Cydia and tap on the Installed tab at the bottom of the screen. Find the app that you want to delete and tap on it. Tap on the Modify button at the top right of the screen. Tap on Remove > Confirm.
Once the app is deleted from Cydia, you can now delete it from your device by holding down on its icon until it jiggles. Tap on the x at the top left of its icon to delete it.
What are the benefits of Cydia?
When you jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, Cydia is automatically installed on it. Cydia is a third-party app store that offers you tons of apps, tweaks, games and utilities that are not available in the official Apple App Store. In short, it expands the possibilities of what you can do with your iOS device.
However, unlike the App Store, Cydia does not have an easy way to uninstall apps. If you want to remove a Cydia app that you no longer use or need, you have to follow a few simple steps. Here’s how:
1. Open Cydia and go to the Sections tab.
2. Tap on Installed Packages (it’s under the Utilities section).
3. Find the app that you want to delete and tap on it.
4. Tap on Modify from the top-right corner of the screen.
5. Select Remove from the pop-up menu.
6. Confirm by tapping Remove again when prompted.
How to remove a Cydia app that won’t uninstall
If you have a Cydia app that won’t uninstall, there are a few things you can try. First, try uninstalling the app using iFile. If that doesn’t work, you can use SSH to delete the app’s files from your device. Finally, if all else fails, you can factory reset your device and start from scratch.
Removing a Cydia app with iFile:
1) Launch iFile and go to the /Applications/ directory.
2) Find the app you want to remove and tap on it.
3) Tap on the “Delete” button at the bottom of the screen.
4) Confirm that you want to delete the app by tapping on “Delete” again.
Removing a Cydia app with SSH:
1) Connect to your device via SSH (you can use PuTTY for this).
How to prevent Cydia apps from uninstalling
When you jailbreak your iOS device, Cydia is automatically installed. This app store contains a wide variety of apps, tweaks, and modifications that can be used to customize your device. However, sometimes you may install an app or tweak that doesn’t work properly, or that you simply don’t like. When this happens, you may want to uninstall the offending app.
Unfortunately, uninstalling Cydia apps is not as simple as deleting a regular app from your home screen. In fact, if you try to delete a Cydia app using the standard method (holding down on the app icon and tapping the “x”), you will probably end up with a blank icon on your home screen. So how do you actually remove a Cydia app?
The easiest way to uninstall a Cydia app is to use a dedicated tool such as iFile or CyDelete8. These tools will allow you to delete any Cydia apps directly from your device without going through the process of connecting to iTunes and restoring from backup (which would also delete all of your other non-Cydia apps).
If you don’t have either of these tools installed on your device, then you can still uninstall most Cydia apps by following these steps:
1) Launch the Settings app and go to “General” -> “Profiles”.
2) Tap on the profile for the app that you want to remove.
3) Tap on the “Remove Profile” button at the bottom of the screen.
4) Confirm that you want to remove the profile and then reboot your device.
Conclusion
If you’re trying to remove a Cydia app that won’t uninstall, there are a few different ways you can go about it. One is to use SSH to delete the files associated with the app from your device. Another is to use a third-party tool like iFile or AppTapp Installer. And finally, you can try uninstalling the app using one of the many jailbreak tweaks that allow you to do so.
