Just finally got my contacts and phone back after a complete nightmare. But why all of a sudden 2.7 gig of other. Anyway to get rid of or find out what it is via ssh.....
I am in the same boat as you, both my iPhone and iPad show large amounts of 'Other' data that is unexplained.
Their are other threads from the past few days that discuss this exact same issue. Some people have posted possible solutions, but no matter what I do, my 'other' data seems to return (and a visit to the Genus Bar didn't help much either).
