How to get rid of other in iPhone usage?
I have a 16GB iPhone 4s and I have a whole 10GB of "other" in my usage tab. I have no idea what this "other" could be or how to get rid of it. I deleted all my music off my phone, deleted all my emails, deleted most of my text conversations, etc. I have 27 apps and under 50 photos. No videos.
What is this "other", or how can I delete some of it?
" I have no idea what this "other" could be or how to get rid of it."
Every iOS device has memory called "other" devoted to basic functions and probably reserved for use by apps. Deleting music or video wouldn't reduce "other" because those are calculated separately. "Other" can include cookies, history or saved memory for web browsing. Try going into settings and finding those for Safari. Clear everything you can - cookies, cache, history - and see if that reduces other.
I'm guessing that this isn't a jailbroken iPhone - because that's the sort of detail that should've been mentioned in your question.
- 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.

- Under settings on my iPhone, does the data usage include Wi-Fi usage? Because its stating a ridiculous amount and I've had my data off… And my Wi-Fi on. Does the total of data include the amount of Internet I'm using when on Wi-Fi? I'm so confused
- IPhone: settings cell usage vs AT&T's data usage number? AT&T has a number, by calling it will send you a text message telling you how much usage you have used on your data. But also in the iPhone there's a cellular usage count in the settings app which also tells how much data you have used. Both of my cellular usage counts are different. Which is right?
- 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?
