How would you like to recover 1GB of storage space on your Apple iPhone or Apple iPad? You might not need the extra storage now, but you will probably be happy to know that it is there if you need it. To recover the extra storage, what you are doing is deleting unwanted OTA updates. It might seem hard to believe, but the first OTA update for iOS came with an update in November 2011 to fix a battery problem on iOS 5.0.1.
But we digress. With iOS 7.1 beta 3, iPhone and iPad users have the ability to remove OTA updates that are collecting dust in your device. To delete those unwanted files, open the Settings application on your home screen. Tap on General > Usage. Look for Storage and tap on iOS 7.1 beta 3. Then, tap on Delete Update and you are finished. You just opened up about 1GB of storage space.
Keep in mind that this is available on a beta version of iOS and the feature might not make it to the final version of iOS 7.1.
