The mysterious "other" space has been hitting over 2 GB on my iPhone.

I haven't found any useful solutions via Google, but I've found some information on my own that may be of use. Here's my experience so far:

1) For whatever reason, I decided to kill all my apps. As you kill an app, a new one slides into place. I just killed them all. Pretty sure it was every app I had ever run. When I synced up, my other space dropped from 2 GB to .6 GB.

2) Treated myself to a hot chocolate in honor of my mad problem solving skillz.

3) Other space built back up to around 2 GB. I killed all my apps and synced. Other stays at 2 GB.

4) You mother ****er.

5) Other space builds up to 2.6 GB after a week or so. Now I'm peeved. I decide to do a kill and sync anyway. It drops to .6 GB.

6)

So, umm... Maybe this will help 66% of the time. Worth a shot if it's frosting your ass.


Tl;dr: kill all your apps, maybe it'll help.

One of your apps is downloading data? Like maps for navigation?

My other was 0.52GB. Killed all my apps, then synchronized.
"Dropped" to 0.55GB

I think you had a specific app running that had some sort of memory leak.

Definitely possible. Nothing comes to mind though.

Also possible. Though it's bizarre that I couldn't clear it up in step 3.

Seriously, there has to be a market to be exploited for this mysterious "Other Space"
