    I don't know, my edit seems not to work on 2.2, either.

    If you were really ambitious, you can always do it through SSH...

    Some of the sources are actually found under "packages". But there's a couple of pesky sources that I haven't been able to delete either.

    Hi

    Can you show me what to edit in order to do this? Is there a simple plist or something?

    Thanks

    Remove Cydia Sources through SSH

    1. SSH into your iPhone/iPod, hopefully you know how to do that.

    2. Go to the root of your iPhone/iPod [/].

    3. Navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cydia.list

    4. Download the Cydia.list to your computer and open it using any text editor.

    5. Delete the source you added. For example, "deb http://www.iphone.org.hk/apt/ ./" if this is the source you want to delete, simply delete that one line. NOT THE WHOLE DOCUMENT. Make sure you save the document as is. We are NOT adding any extensions.

    6. Drag the saved document into the sources.list.d folder and replace the file.

    7. Respring. ALL DONE!
