How to delete apps on a jailbroken iphone 4?

I just got an iPhone 4 from a family member and they had it jailbroken or whatever and whenever I try to delete an app they shake, just like they do on an iPhone 3G, but that's all that happens. It freezes with all the apps shaking and I can't do ANYTHING. Then after about a minute it appears to restart itself and the apps are all still there.Am I doing something wrong?

Go into cydia and delete then in there.
