Apple rolled out iOS 7.1 beta 3 to developers and included a handy new feature that allows users to delete the download files that are delivered over-the-air to the device when a new version of iOS is ready to be installed.These installation files are delivered to an iOS device when it is connected to AC power. The files are downloaded remotely, and the user is alerted to the available update. This strategy caused a stir earlier this year when the iOS 7 update was sent to iOS 6 users and took up more than 3GB of space on the device. Users were forced to update to iOS 7 if they wanted to reclaim that space. Now, according to Macerkopf.de, users who don’t want to install iOS 7.1 beta 3 can remove the installation files just like any other app or file.
