Step 1 Install Coolstar’s Stashing on your device. If you don’t know how to do this, follow this tutorial. Stashing allows OSRestoreXTerm to perform the clean-up quickly because all your jailbreak files and libraries are present in a single folder.

Step 2 Download and install OSRestoreXTerm package from https://nathanaccidentally.us/.

Step 5 SSH into your iPhone, iPad or iPod with Dropbear over USB. Follow this tutorial to SSH into your device.

Step 6 Once the connection is established, enter the following command –
