I’m trying to find out why my “System Data” is taking 170 GB on my disk. One place I found a bunch of space is in under ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. There are 3 directories there. Two of them have Info.plist files that tell me they are from an iPad and iPhone. Those two are not huge (330 MB and 1.7 GB). But the third one is 33 GB. I don’t know what it is. It looks like this:
% du -sh 556f2ca808f5ccaa44dd87e0fdcc1f075ac15199
33G 556f2ca808f5ccaa44dd87e0fdcc1f075ac15199
% find 556f2ca808f5ccaa44dd87e0fdcc1f075ac15199 -type f | head

I do see a 556f2ca808f5ccaa44dd87e0fdcc1f075ac15199/Status.plist, a binary file, which I can open in Xcode and see this:
Any idea what this thing is? It looks pretty new. Most of the files seem to have modification times of August 7, just a few days ago.
