Recently after I hacked my iPod touch, I start to install many third party softwares to suit my needs using iPod touch as a PDA. But somehow it shown “low disk space” error and ask me to clear some photo or video to get more disk space.

This make me confused because my iPod Touch has 16GB disk space and I only used up to 4GB plus, it should not be any problem by installing few hundred KBs software. After do some research and testin, I found a solution to resolve the low disk space in iPod Touch ( same method applied to iPhone).

1. Download and install “Term-vt100” and “BSD Subsystem” located in the Installer.app under “System” category (if you don’t have enough space to install Term-vt100, delete some applications temporarily)

2. Launch Term-vt100, it’s a black color screen with command line.

3. Type the commands below exactly step by step (Warning: Type wrong command might cause your iPod Touch or iPhone useless. You will need to reload or restore the whole things)

cd /
cp -pr Applications /var/root
mv Applications Applications.old
ln -s private/var/root/Applications /Applications

Up to here, you have link your Applications folder from root folder to the private var folder which allocated your whole disk space. For my case, I can use up to 16GB!

Now, restart your iPod Touch or iPhone and type commands below in Term-vt100 to remove the old Applications folder

cd /
rm -rf Applications.old
