    Was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up you will need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults (after copying anything off that you want to keep) and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
