10gb of "other"

[EFeller]

Hello,

I have an iPhone 5, 32gb, that contains just over 10gb of "other." I actually had this problem with my iPhone 3GS before I upgraded, and thought it might disappear on it's own once I upgraded. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

Here's what I've tried:

*Restore from backup
* Uncheck music & sync to delete music (the "other" stays the same)
* Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe right on Music, then delete

Any advice on how I can reclaim my space?

Thanks in advance,

-Feller

I've heard people say that the only way is to set up device as new.

I think my "other" is starting to creep too...

Thanks.

I was trying to avoid a total wipe, but guess that's the next step. Thanks for your response.

May do some more digging on that one if you are trying to avoid it. I've never had to do (or done) it -- I'm just going off of what I've read on the forums
