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 service 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.*****
GEEK-TALK: What Cydia is doing is moving /Applications to /var/stash/Applications.***** for some weird reason and symlinks /Applications to this new folder.
