For those with dropbear loaded by au.asn.ucc.matt.dropbear:

1. Install BSD Subsystem using Installer.

2. install UIctl from Installer.

3. Run UIctl (be careful with this application). Tap au.asn.ucc.matt.dropbear and choose “unload -w.”

4. Install OpenSSH with Installer.

5. Connect to your iPhone using WinSCP, username/password of root/alpine.

6. Using WinSCP delete the following files and folders on the iPhone:
