Delete iOS 7 download

I previously updated my iPad to iOS 7, but I really didn't like it and reverted to iOS 6.1.3. After I reverted to iOS 6.1.3, my iPad downloaded iOS 7 again and is now prompting me to install it. I do not wish to do so.


As I don't like iOS 7, I would like to delete the download as it is presently taking up about 3 GB of storage on my iPad. I cannot find a way of doing this. Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks for all helpful replies.

iPad, iOS 6.1.3, 4th generation, 32Gb, Wifi only.

We can't help you. Deleting the OS, whether you've implemented it or not is not supported by Apple.

Nah, there's nothing wrong with you, but I'm still not sold on the look of iOS 7. I did process the upgrade in the end because I got fed up of "phantom" app updates - i.e. App Store would flag an update, but when I went there, there would be nothing to be installed because the update only applied to iOS 7. I have found a couple of glitches - initiallly, I was having a problem with Reminders, but I may have resolved that now. My iPhone also, on occasions, seems to be struggling to connect to wifi from standby whilst at home.
