Hey guys, some people have trouble with their memory usage saying that there is way too little space left. Here's a way to find files that are taking up a lot of space that are not detected by going to settings>general>usage>manage storage. The files are usually deleted files in the trash and .deb files you don't need anymore.
P.S: Not hiding anything since it was DiDa who taught me this
Requirements:
1. iFile/Filza or any other file manager
2. MobileTerminal (from cydia)
Instructions:
•Copy this:
cd / && find . -size +100M
•Open MobileTerminal and paste that
•Hit the enter button and watch the magic happen
•Do not worry, it will show a lot of text which is perfectly normal.
•After it is finished searching for files, the text you see are locations/paths to where there is a file that is higher than 100MB. just follow the path to the file and if it is a file you don't need, delete it and then go to your trash and delete it permanently if you'd like to search for a different value than 100MB in the text that you copied change the "100" to a different number.
For example, if you want to search for files that are 75MB and higher, change the "100M" to "75M" then hit enter and the text will show again.
I hope this helps!
