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.

You can't, the phone needs some of its own space and reserved space to run.

  • What's with the Other: Category on my iPhone? Everytime I plug it into iTunes it goes up a little.yesterrday it was at 0.95 MB now its at 1.01 GB. Is there a way to make it go down other then having it restored? And also what makes up the "other" category on the iPhone?
  • What is the other category on my iPhone storage? When I connect my iPhone to my computer I see nearly 5.0GB of "other" in the storage. I only have a 16 GB iPhone so it's clearly a problem. What is this "other" and how can I fix the issue?
  • What is in the Other category on my iPhone storage? I have an iPhone 4 (not 4s), and when i plug it into my computer, it says there's 3.5gb of Other, but i don't know what's in this "Other" category. I cleared all my web history/cache/cookies, and deleted tons and tons of emails along with all my text conversations and recent calls, but that barely did anything. What else can i do to reduce the size of this category?
  • What is in the other category on my iPhone 4S capacity? 3.5 gb of my phones capacity is being taken up by this others category and now my phone has no space. What is in it and how do I clear it?
