Clearing down 'other' storage

dannyjo22 · 31 Oct 2013 at 12:59

I noticed my 16gb storage has almost 4gb of 'other' now. Anyone have any really useful apps or programs for cleaning that stuff up?

Thanks I will give that a try

A quick bump, I still can't get rid of other data on my devices

I have done all the steps above:

Removed and reinstalled apps that have large local data, there was only 1.
Removed and reinstalled Mail account
Deleted message threads
Back up reinstall
Clear Safari history

Yet I'm still at 3.5gb other data, Ipad is similar.

Short of a complete factory reset I'm at a loss how to reclaim that data. I really don't want to lose all my game saves etc. Is this something they would be able to fix at the store?

I'm still on ios but I guess I would have to upgrade before going.

No I don't think so isn't the IOS installed in the section where you don't get the full device memory. For instance a 32gb ipad might give 31 gig of useable space?

Surely restoring from the back up just dumps the 'other' data back on anyway?

I will give that another try when I get time, annoying me to lose 3.5gig on a 16 gig device!

Well that worked fine on my sons ipad, took other down from 2.5gb to 856mb. Tried on my phone and nothing.

Still like this:

I would do a complete restore if I could then just sync my apps and that would put all my save data etc back on

I have deleted all message threads and my ipad with similar levels of other data has no message threads at all.

Nothing worked

In the end I had to ditch my beloved ios6 and go to 7 which reduced both my phone and pad down from 4 gb other to 1gb. Best I can get.
