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, 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.*****
