How To Free Up Alot Of Space In The System Partition

 

You should only need to do this if your "System Partition" is full or nearly full.

Requirements:

-Jailbroken iDevice
-Access to FileSystem (iFile, iFunBox, iTools, etc.)

This is more like a list of directories and files which are large, and don't need to be used.

List is in an order of largest files at top and smaller files at the bottom.

This helps free space up for Cydia tweaks.

/Library/Dictionaries

You can delete the weird Japanese sounding ones and the Oxford ones too.

Or if you want to keep them all, you can paste them in /var partition and put a link in that directory.

/System/Library/Audio

I think you can delete all of it, but I just pasted it in /var partition and linked it.

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/VoiceServices.framework and /System/Library/VoiceServices

You can delete any weird language things in there that you don't use.

 

DON'T DELETE THE WHOLE THING THOUGH!!!

/Library/Audio

You can move this folder to /var partition and link it.

/System/Library/CoreServices/AssistiveTouch.app

You can delete this if you don't use Assistive Touch

/System/Library/Obliteration

You can delete this folder.

/System/Library/PreferenceBundles

You can delete stuff like data and SearchSettings, if you don't use them.

You can delete Twitter and stuff, but you must remove them from your Settings or General.plist or esle your Preferences app will always crash.

/System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app

You can delete images, like the Apple Flare logo and stuff.

And like Newsstand Stuff if you use like NoNewsIsGoodNews.

[syscleanpro does this]

/System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app

You can delete all language packs (lproj) that you don't use.

/System/Library/Fonts

You can copy them into /var partition and link them there.

[if you have alot of Zeppelin themes]

/Library/Zeppelin

You can move this folder to the /var partition and link it.

[ADVANCED USERS ONLY]

/System/Library/Frameworks and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks

You can delete stuff in here that you don't use, but be careful as it may put your device into a boot loop and you may have to restore.

TIP:


To link in iFile, first cut the folder(s) and/or file(s) and paste it in the /var directory (anywhere really in there) and then click on it again and click copy.

Then go back to the original directory and click Create Link right under Paste.

Im not talking about "User Partition" this is to free up space in "System Partition"

Most tweaks or Apps apart from stashing will not clean this partition, especially if already FULL and installing tweaks has been affected.

OR. How about you DONT DO THIS AND NOT REKT YOUR DEVICE

 

if you need to do this then you have already "REKT" your device by installing way to much.

 

This is for when SYSTEM PARTITION is full or nearly full, it will clear space allowing you to install tweaks again.
