How'd I I get rid of OTHER GB Storage on my iPhone 5?

I recently plugged in my iPhone to my Mac and saw in iTunes under my iPhone's GB Storage that it has 4.95 GB of OTHER? What is OTHER? How do I decrease it?

You could try a restore, if you don't care about app data or if most is recoverable like say Facebook for example or you could try an app called PhoneClean for the computer to help clear out cache files. May be able to get a GB or so of space through it.

  • What is 'Other' storage on IPhone 4 and how to get rid of it? I have just over a gb worth of other storage i have tried wiping and restoring my iphone. I know there are some apps to view the 'other' but i don't want to pay for them, is there any free apps similar to this without jailbreak or any other ways to get rid of it?
  • ITunes says I have 3 GB of other storage? How can I get rid of it? I JUST got a new iPhone 4 this morning. I plug it into the computer to download music and it stops, saying that I'm over capacity and that I have 3 gigs of "other" storage. I've tried every trick there's to get rid of it but it just won't go away and I'm getting extremely frustrated. If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated!
  • I want to get rid of some storage on my iPhone 5 I have a 16 GB iPhone 5s and I've started realizing that I need more storage on my phone. My question is that when I sync my phone to iTunes to see what I need to do to get rid of storage, it says that I have 4.59 GB that is free, but when I go to general - usage (in settings) it says that I have 1.5 GB free. I've synced my phone up multiples times to see if there was any glitch but there seems to be none whatsoever.
  • I'm trying to get rid of Other on iPhone 5? I know this is a tired question because no one can figure out how to truly remove the (5GB in my case) excess of "other" on the iPhone because it apparently might be due to corrupted files. I've tried everything I can find online to no avail. I really don't want to resolve to starting a new phone because I need my current photos, contacts and messages. Any suggestions?
