Cannot get rid of Cupertino from weather widget

I can add other locations and even delete Cupertino but when I open it again, Cupertino has returned and more annoyingly is the “preferred”!

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

Touch-and-hold (i.e., long-touch) the Widget…


  • If you wish to remove the Widget in its entirety, select Remove Widget.


  • If you wish to change the displayed location to another city, select Edit Widget, tap Location then select the preferred city or Current Location.



If instead you are attempting to change the list of cities of interest within the Weather App itself - open the Weather App; within the associated sidebar you will see a list a locations for which a forecast has been configured. At top-right of the Weather sidebar, tap the ellipsis (“…”) icon - and from the menu tap Edit List. 


Each of your configured locations will now have an associated red “-“ button. Tap the button for each location that you wish to delete from the Weather App. When you’re finished, tap Done.

Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings


If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
