How to clean up garbage in itunes

What other content is included: 1. "Other” is automatically generated by iOS normal” files (not everyone's system files) 2. “Other” will follow your installed app Programs, songs, photos, videos and other files are gradually increasing (because the storage location is different) 3, "Others" is very hydrated, not really there are so many junk files, they can be "reduced" & rdquo; 4 , "Not"; iTunes & rdquo; files transferred to the machine are all identified as "other" (especially the pxl format software installed with 91) 5, each person's use is different, cleaning methods vary from person to person, need specific analysis The most direct way is to brush the machine. 6. If it is not for me, etc., FY can be completely ignored. Others, 7. If you are not jailbroken, please ignore it directly. Others. Clean up the general process Test machine: Unicom licensed iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.1, green poison RC5 jailbreak 1, the most common situation: iTunes sync video, audio file loss Analysis reasons: The reason for USB interface, iTunes sync sometimes unsuccessful, then, video, audio files will suddenly disappear. Sometimes syncing will come back again, but sometimes it won't work. At this time, from the perspective of capacity, iTunes' video and audio capacity will be reduced, and correspondingly, other capacity will increase. Our goal is to find out which files are missing and delete them. Cleaning method: [/private/var/mobile /Media/iTunes_Control/Music] Directory, iTunes uploaded multimedia files (such as MP3, MP4, etc.) storage directory, the file has not been modified, but the file name has been modified, directly downloaded to the computer Read it. Folders beginning with "F”, such as F11, F20, etc., steps: delete F start folder → restart machine → cancel multimedia synchronization & rarr; sync again 2. iTunes sync photo failed Analysis reason: for unknown reasons, iTunes sync photo photos will fail. At this time, the original photo picture on the iPhone will not be found, but the file actually exists. The photo photo file is in the iPhone's /private/var/mobile/Media/Photos/Thumbs folder. If you have a PC and don't plan to keep the images on these iPhones, you can delete all the files in Thumbs and the Photo Database files in the same level as Thumbs. If you still need these pictures, there is no PC, then you can only copy the ithmb file in the Thumbs folder to the PC, and then use the Format Factory software to extract (Format Factory.exe search in google, there are many download links ). Cleanup method: find the [/private/var/mobile/Media/Photos/Thumbs] directory, delete the F folder → restart the machine → cancel the multimedia synchronization & rarr; synchronize again 3. The installation program is not cleanly analyzed. Reason: Official The installation is of course the iTunes ipa format file, third-party installers such as Cydia (including deb), September 1, the app directly copy and paste. Although iTunes, Cydia, and Jiu 1 can be deleted by their respective programs, sometimes the deletion is not clean. The most common is to use these programs to install different versions of the same program, sometimes you will find that you can install it, but there is only one on the iPhone, and you have forgotten to install it several times, which versions. This way there is more and more garbage in the iPhone. In this case you can only enter the corresponding folder and open the search. Cleanup method: 1. The ipa installation is in the /private/var/mobile/Applications folder. The installation date can roughly determine where the software is. 2, Cydia, 91, manual installation are placed in the /private/var/stash/Applications folder, the folder names are clear at a glance. Find the software you want and delete it directly. The premise is that you have deleted it on the iPhone, but it has not been cleaned up, that is, you have found a software you have deleted in these folders, but still have its folder. 3, [/User/Media/ApplicationArchives/] directory can be safely deleted, which is to delete the error software package. 4, [/tmp] Recently found iTunes sync or delete failed files, named folder named install_greenmile.XXXXXX, delete. 5, [/User/Media/PublicStaging] The redundant file path for iTunes installation failure found on 6.14. 4, file management software file deletion is not clean or left in the recycle bin (actually not deleted) Analysis reasons: such as Mobilestudio file management software. You can delete, copy, paste, rename, etc. in Mobilestudio. But Mobilestudio has a recycle bin, and the deleted files are in the recycle bin. If you don't empty the recycle bin, the files are still there. Of course, other capacity will not be released. Another example is the famous iFile, which does not open the recycle bin by default. If you open the recycle bin, you may forget which deleted files. Cleanup method: Locate the recycle bin folder of the file management software and delete the files in the recycle bin. 5, Cydia, 91, App manually installed software is counted in other capacity, if you are all installed software through these programs, then no fuss other will be so huge, the chop is there. Do not want, delete it yourself 1 [/private/var/mobile/Library/NetDragon/Applications] is the residual junk file path after the installation of the September 1 program fails, can only delete the program that failed to install, if you delete the folder will cause the program Unable to open 2 [/private/var/cache/apt/archives/partial] Cydia did not download the content, cydia will delete the downloaded content from time to time, and cydia download can be resumed, you reinstall It is possible to continue downloading. If you start from scratch, the part that has not been downloaded has been automatically deleted. If there is a deb file that you don't want and you have not downloaded, you can delete it directly. 3[/var/mobile/Media/ApplicationArchives] When the second computer is turned on for iTunes synchronization, if the computer does not have the software on the iphone, you will be prompted whether to transfer the software to the current computer. This directory is the APP software that generates this temporary ZIP format, and some can be safely deleted! 6, E-mail attachments are also in other, if you have undelete mail attachments, or downloaded email attachments, you can delete the free space 7, safari download ipa and deb, if you have installed Safari download plug-in, do you remember Cleared downloaded files? 8, [var /vm] in the directory previously installed virtual memory left, there are deleted 9, [var /mobile /Library /Caches /] directory, if there is a virtual file at the beginning of Proswitcher, delete it (ten Do not delete all the files in this directory directly, otherwise all your programs will become other, backup is useless! Avoid!)

10, the files you copy into, the most common is the font file, also For example, there is a FY copy of the 230M dictionary library, below the Dictionary Univeral directory. Itunes shows the 3.47G application, and the iFile view Application directory is 3.71G, the difference is just the dictionary library, delete it yourself 11. The temporary file cleaning path for mobile download (only for iOS5.0 system) //User/Media /Downloads This directory contains saved temporary files that can be safely deleted. Note: a. Pay attention to the backup file before operation, just in case. b. In step 12, after directly deleting with i-FunBox, you must shut down and restart the machine (logout is invalid), otherwise the pictures, music, and video cannot be synchronized and played normally. Because the direct deletion in i-FunBox does not update the iTunes library. Some children's boots have problems with synchronization, you can restart the machine to solve. Hereby emphasize! c. Abandoning the September 1 assistant, found a tragic picture in the forum, “Others” took up more than 4G. The friend used the PXL format software installed on September 1st. These softwares were not recognized by iTunes and became “&ldquo "Others" d, "Other" can not be completely removed, the new brush machine "Other" will take up 200MB, i-FunBox directly delete the media folder, click directly on the synchronization, will "temporary" Eliminate “other”, but this is the illusion, after restarting the machine to sync again, & nbsp; other & rdquo; will come back. e, "Other" will not affect your machine stability and use, they just take up some space, there are hundreds of megabytes is normal, a few G can self-check the above items, like toss can be based on me The enumerated methods are as simple as possible <;other”.
