Remove OTA downloaded (but not installed) iOS 8

I've downloaded the new iOS 8 update on my iPhone 5 but am getting second thoughts about actually installing it. Is there a way for me to delete that download or am I at the point of no return?


I did same on iPad2. I have managed to remove the download (which wasn't installed). Select settings, general, usage, manage storage when the app list loads, you should see ios8, select this and then delete. Hope you're successful.


You can stop and delete the update of iOS 8 by going to Settings/Usage and selecting the iOS 8 app which will give you the option to delete and it won't auto-download unless you decide to do so by going in the software update option.


There's no way to delete downloaded iOS updates.

Settings | General | Software Update does not feature a delete button. On a non-jailbroken iPhone, once an iOS update has been downloaded (manually or otherwise), there is no permanent means of deletion.
