Revision as of 03:46, 25 October 2010 by Dialexio (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 11238 by Balloonhead66 (Talk) It's still "~/Demo.mov" :))
Summary
This is where all of the pre-installed native apps are installed. They can't be deleted under normal circumstances. One can delete them on a jailbroken device through some sort of file-management tool such as SSH or iFile, although doing this is highly unrecommended as they can't be re-installed. Cydia will move this directory to the user partition and create a symlink to it.
/Applications --> /var/stash/Applications.*****
NOTE: In the title, the asterisks represent randomly generated characters that are generated when the folder is created and symlinked
