I updated to 4.3.3 to unjailbreak

Should I have restored to factory first? I don't want useless or corrupted files on the phone. Does it matter?

 

[chakraj]

yes, the files are still in there.

 

[louis0nfire]

Deleted

If I do a factory restore, and then restore from backup, will the files just go right back on?

 

[ihav0frnds]

only the normal files will be restored, not jailbreak stuff.

I'm using a file viewer right now and unfortunately my backup contains a lot of files like /cydia.packages.txt and such. Is there anything out there that will let me delete specific files from a backup on my computer (OS X)?

Don't do a restore. Just sync with your itunes.

If you want everything gone you have to restore and setup as new.
If you restore from your JB backup on file some stuff might carry over.
