Cydia Error Refreshing
How do you remove incorrect URLs that you've entered as a new source? Every time I open Cydia I get the splash screen with every bad source/ no data crap.

The only way to remove the errors for ever is to use a plist editor tool. Otherwise when ever you add a repo the bad repo's will return. This method works everything.
To edit the plist in private/var/lib/cydia
drag the metadata.plist to desktop and open with the editor, delete the bad repos and save, drag the plist back in, respring and your good to go.
plist editor link.
Did some searching and found that iFile (as the OP below stated), will work also, awesome. I just do it the old school way. lolzLast edited by blkcadi; 11-16-2010 at 07:56 PM.
