Itunes creating huge files

[Daniel0898]

So I've been running ios 9.3.3 for a long time now because of my jailbreak, but my developer's signature ran out and I have no need to be running on that IOS. So today I updated and it ended up taking me about 7 or 8 tries.

 

I ended up having to re-install itunes (because it couldn't preform the update) and then it finally worked.

 

On to the issue. I noticed when I was done that I had about 20gb missing from my ssd. I'm pretty sure after cancelling and redoing the update so many times that itunes created update files that might be taking up a good chunk of my space.

 

I'm not even sure if itunes is to blame I just have no idea what else it could be. If it is itunes I just need to know where to find the files so I can delete them.

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

A quick google search reveals where iTunes stores its' IPSW firmware files on your computer:

IMO, Apple should be a lot more transparent about things, but then again, it took them over 10 years to finally implement a half-assed file system on iOS, so I won't hold my breath.

That was the first place I went to and unfortunately nothing was there D:
