How to get rid of other storage on my iPhone without restoring it?
I just got a brand new phone, and in the store, I restored the new phone from backup from my old phone. All my stuff transferred, including 5 GB of "other" storage. I've researched how to get rid of it, and the only answer seems to be restoring it from backup; however, I did that when I got my new phone, but the other is still there. Is there any other way to get rid of it?
Actually the suggestion is to NOT restore from a backup thereby wiping what data Other usually is (cache data from apps accumulated overtime)
You could try reinstalling some apps, ones that wouldn't result in data loss like Facebook for example.

- 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'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.
- How to get rid of the other category in my iPhone's usage The "other" section is currently taking up 7.5GB of my iPhone's capacity (so ridiculous)! I've tried everything: deleting contacts, deleting conversations, deleting apps, and even RESTORING MY IPHONE. But it still is taking up basically half of my usage! Please someone tell me how I can get rid of, or at least drastically reduce, the "other" section.
