iPhone Jailbroken on 6.1, want to get rid of all my "other" data?

Did you remove all the other languages and keyboards? Unused dependencies?

Maybe post screen shots of what you have selected.

Probably iMessage attachments using that space. I don't recall which topic here originally mentioned the reddit article. But if you use iFile or similar file system app, browse to the /var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments folder. You can safely delete the pictures here.

edit - oops. Was typing my message as you were posting yours. But how big is your attachment folder?

well, now my attachments folder is 0 bytes (per ifile). It helped some, but I'm still sitting on multiple gigs of "other"... hmmm

I'd start here. I hope this helps. Quite annoying when "Other" data is so large...

Edit: FYI, its normal to have anywhere from 500mb to 1.5gb of other data on a jailbroken device. Eveything installed from Cydia is considered other data. Plus any files you copy to the device circumventing iTunes will be considered other like mp3 files, PDFs, documents, etc. Something to keep in mind.

Edit again: Do you use iTransmission or some other bit torrent? Partially downloaded torrents can take up huge chunks of other.

Thanks for the post BumpyFlatline. No, I dont use any torrent clients, so that wouldn't be it... hhmmm... still not great.

Do you SSH to the device?

I believe he thinks you need help with how to SSH. I think he's confused by your post and didn't read it carefully.

Ahhh, I was asking the OP if he uses SSH as he might have put some files on his device and forgot about them

Now that I think about it, did you delete stuff using ifile? If you did, it moves it to the trash folder and you must empty the trash folder. Press edit and the trash icon and it should give you the option to empty trash
