Hi all,

 

I tried to download a 1.7gb app from the linkstore.

It seems that I had this amount of free storage but probably I was wrong.

The download hasn't finished because I was out of free space. I stopped the download but now it seems that the part of the file that was downloaded was saved somewhere and "eat" my storage.

Does somebody know where is the file stored so I could delete the file?

Tweaks like LinkStore/ AppCake etc. require double the storage available to download the application. A simple way of deleting it is to run iCleaner from the cydia store (BigBoss repo)7

Easiest and simplest way is via iCleaner but if iCleaner doesn't remove it, run this command on Terminal:

 

find . -size +300M
It'll list all your files on your system which are over 300MB so you can find the IPA and remove it.

 

And a 1.7GB IPA needs 3.4GB free space because it'll extract and install the app while keeping the IPA.

It seems that it did the trick but the download is stuck. I can't see anything but after deleting, it takes a while and the free storage is over again (something like 4 min).

OK, I run the iCleaner again and it looks steady now.

Is there any option to download the ipa file to a computer (win) and install it directly on the iphone without the need of double free space?

Go to iPhoneCake.com using your PC and download the IPA then install it via iFunBox or iTools or AnyTrans.
