Question

Does restoring also mean that the software gets updated?

Community Answer

No, it does not. All it will do is restore from your last backup without Cydia installed.

Question

How do I remove Cydia and other tweaks without opening Cydia?

Community Answer

Just use this same method to do it (without deleting the tweaks). It's not recommended as there is a chance that you will have problems if you want to jailbreak later.
