    Default Deleting App via Winscp

    Hi guys, I have an iPhone 3G firmware 3.0 and I downloaded an app called "Categories"... I deleted the app through iPhone, but found out that the folders I created using the app are still there. I couldn't remove them through iPhone and decided to use Winscp. I went into my Applications folder and deleted the "folder" that I made with the categories app. However, I went back into my iPhone and the "folder" is still there... How can I delete the app completely? Thx

    The app is already deleted through Cydia, but the little icons I made with the app cannot be deleted. I tried to hold down to see if I can "X" it, but there wasn't an "X"... Does anyone have this app?

    Yes, and now I just deleted another icon, and inside I have my phone setting icon and now it's gone. GREAT. What do I do?

    I heard I have to delete the icons before deleting the categories app. Lol who would have guessed...

    unhide the setting icon? It should appear after that. If you havent figured out how to delete the "folder" you created with categories, SSH into /applications and find the folder in there and delete it.

    Agreed with the SSH idea above. I've always done that: forget I made folders and delete Categories. SSH always worked for me. Well, I use iFile most of the time.
