Why is there so much other on my Iphone?
7.89 GB of storage on my phone is taken up by "Other". I've tried restoring it, sorting through apps, everything that i can think of; but it isn't fixing ANYTHING. Please help, i can't even take pictures anymore due to lack of storage.
Most likely its apps and the caches on the apps, I'm android myself so I'm not sure if you can clear the cache on iPhones, but it's basically files that the phone can't identify to be audio, video or pictures.
there's a possibility that the other is just system files
- Why is there 3.17 gigs of other on my iPhone? I barely have any apps so the app data isn't taking up much space, I delete my history frequently, and I keep my texts but that can't be taking up *that* much room. I've restored it months ago but it never fixed the problem.
- Why is the iphone so much better than other smart phones? I'm not trying to start a fight here. It just seems like Apple has access to alien technology or something. I've been trying to help my dad with his Samsung stratosphere and the difference is staggering. Another thing worth noting is that any of my friends who have non iphone smart phones also carry their ipod touches around with them. That says something.
- Why is other taking up so much space on my iPhone? - 1 And more importantly, what can I get rid of to get more space? I've deleted texts, calls, voicemails, emails, photos, songs, safari cookies & data, AND notes. What is going on? It's taking up around 3 GBs (or whatever) and it's killing me.
- Why is 'other' on my iphone and why is it taking up so much? When I sync my iphone on my mac it shows me what's being used at the bottom in a bar (music, apps, photos, other). My 'other' is taking up 2/3 of the bar and I don't know what that data is from? What do I do to make that 'other' bar go down so that I can free up some room on my phone
