I believe after you JB the JB automaticly blocks the OTA software update feature.
If the ios update is not deleted you can go in with ifile and remove it from that folder.

When I click on "Software Update" there is a button that says "Install Now"
So I assume that 7.1 is already downloaded onto my phone.
I want to delete the 7.1 content so I can have more memory on my phone.
Right now, I have 11.2gb / 13.4gb
Will clicking on "Erase All Content and Settings" do the trick or Jailbreak and
use iFile to delete the content(Do you know the direct folders where this is stored for me to delete)
An erase all should do the trick.
But if not after you JB just download ifile from cydia and browse to any of those locations below /var/mobile/Library/SoftwareUpdate
Or var/mobile/media/downloads
Or /var/mobile/Library/SoftwareUpdate Not 100% what one it was for ios 6 or ios 7.

Erase all contents did the trick!
I didn't want to jailbreak yet because I knew that I might have used that option!
Did you download anything like "Software Update Killer" to prevent something like this from happening? Or you just be very careful about not pressing software update?

Oh great, glad that worked.
When you JB with evasion the JB automatically blocks the OTA feature so it will not be able to check for newer updates or ever download them.

Unless you jailbreak, your phone will likely re-download the update.
Is there a way to get rid of the update badge on the General section in settings. Just got my new 5S and it has the badge there, though not on the app itself.
I've looked in the folders listed above in ifile and not found any large files so don't think it actually dl'ed the update (unless it's somewhere else)

Software update killer should remove the badge.
Instead of the paid iFile you can also install afc2add in cydia (free) and use iFunBox for windows or mac (both free) to browse your file structure when jailbroken.

iFile is free, the paid just unlocks some features you wouldn't other wise have that the op doesn't need. Also if you wanted to browse your device via computer open ssh is a lot safer than afc2add which i heard causes issues.
I just jailbroke my roommates phone but he his phone had already downloaded the update. Where do I go to delete the update and will the badge go away automatically afterwards?
The locations Applejuiced listed didn't have anything in them that was large enough. I'm ssh'd into the phone...where else should I look? Or which terminal commands will recursively look for files of certain size?
