I believe the OP is talking about this issue:

It's actually pretty bad. I do hope Apple starts paying attention to stuff like this.

Just finish watching the movie and it will clear the cache. I think you can just move the slider to the end of the film.

This is but one example. The point is that everyone has mysterious "other" files that are usually, well, a mystery!

The fact that there may be a fix for each and every way it happens isn't really a solution. Besides the fact that you often don't know which memory-grabbing issue you currently have, isn't it the computer's job to figure this stuff out for us?

Hey, at least there is a solution!



I restore my phone once every few months to keep things "clean".

Restore as new or restore from back up?

Oh, I agree. I just thought the OP wanted to figure out what's up with movies remaining cached for seemingly no reason.

IOS 8 Memorygate

I've lost 5gb after I updated to 8.1

Consider yourself slightly lucky...restored phone from iCloud..everything seems normal until I noticed the SSD for the photos stored in my phone is double. iPhone says I have 1.8gb used space for photos but iTunes says 3.6gb used?!

Note: restoring will only increase the space it thinks I used for photos stored in my iPhone
