Delete Developer Beta

Hello I downloaded the iOS 17 beta developer version, but I can't uninstall it. As if it was permanently installed on my phone. I can't delete it from the settings , either this is from general>device management>then DOES NOT SHOW ME TO CHOOSE OR DELETE ANYTHING . As also neither from general>iPhone storage> IOS 17. it doesn't show me the option to delete it, it's like it just informs me that I have the iOS 17. No option to delete. Please help me to downgrade or delete it somehow because it has too many bugs and I can't handle my phone like this. Thanks.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

There is not and never has been an iOS downgrade.


Unenrollment: Unenroll Your Devices


You can reset and restore your pre-beta backup.


If you don’t have a pre-beta backup to restore, you’ll either have to factory reset and start over without a restore, or you can wait for the iOS 17 release.


In general…


Do not use the beta with any iPhone you need to work.


Do not use the beta with any data you need available.


Do not use the beta with any iCloud data associated with an Apple ID you need available.


Do not expect all apps to work.


If you cannot wipe and not preserve current contents, you should not be running a beta.
