    Default how do i delete delete "hidden movies" ? please help!

    hello,
    i need a little help.
    i recently upgraded from 1.1.4 to 2.1 with Pwnage.
    i had an app called "hidepod" which enables you to hide media or any other application from anyone who might use your phone. you can access the hidden media by typing a password in the caculator app. i had used it to store some private videos.

    with the update i lost the app. unfortunately that is not the only problem since the videos are still hidden somewhere inside my iphone. i know this since it shows up in the itunes summary page where i can see that i have 3gb of memory taken up under "other".

    here's my question would anyone out there be able to give me an idea to how i could actually delete these hidden movies? they take up a lot of space and i can't even see them!

    i know that i should have unhidden them before upgrading but tha tis too late now.
    furthermore, i can't even download the app again since it doesn't exist for version 2.1

    anyone can help?

    i have tried contacting the hidepod people but all their emails do not seem to be working since my messages bounce back.

    You can probably SSH in and look for the media folder for the movies and delete it. var-root-media should be where it's at.

    first of all thx for answering so quickly.
    for full disclosure i'm not a huge expert. therefore i had no clue of what SSH was. now i do. i managed to connect but i can't seem to find any media files. not only the "hidden movies" but also the unhidden ones. once i go to var-root-media the file opens but it seems empty. i know it can't be since i have loads of stuff in there.
    any other suggestions of where i could look?

    thank you again!

    there is the most stuff saved.
