Hey everyone, so I've been having this problem with my 16GB iPhone 6 for the past 2 years and lately its been getting worse and worse. My phone keeps running out of space and I regularly delete pics off the phone and I do a backup and restore every once in a while... I noticed that the freespace on my phone gets less and less even though I delete all the pics off my phone.
I finally got sick of it, because there just seems to be so much junk data on my phone. I deleted literally everything off my phone, by manually deleting every SMS and every app and every pic. My phone is empty. I did not do "Erase all Content and settings" because I wanted to try and see how much space I can get from manually deleting everything. My phone shows that there is still ~6GB of used data... I have no songs on this phone either. This should not be the case because I have deleted every app and etc off of my phone including SMS which I didnt even want to delete in the first place. It shows 4GB of Documents and Data and 2GB of "other" in iTunes....
What can I do to gain all of my space back? Other than doing a clean format and install? I hate inputting all of my settings and info and signing into every single app all over again, and putting in all my of different email addresses and etc.
