Hello folks.Let me start by saying the following:

Yes I have read numerous threads regarding "other data".
Yes I know about the procedures to eliminate "other data" (restore etc)

But I have some questions, because no matter how much i look on the internet i havent found them.

So to begin with:

I have a new iphone 5c 32GB, that I set up as a new device, with clean install of ios7.

My other data was around 1.2 GB fresh after the install. Since then it is climbing, right now I am sitting at 1.9 GB of other data.

My question is this:

Is 1.9 GB other data on IOS 7 normal? On a freshly installed new device, with no messages or crud carried over via old backups??

I used a program called phone clean, but it didnt find anything wrong with my phone. In fact the program said it could clean up around 200MB from my phone, and i did that, only to find out that my other data is unchanged.

If someone could check what his/her other data is at the moment on a device with a clean install running ios 7 , I would appreciate this.

I mean if all or most people have 2gb of other data, then there is no reason for me to go ahead and do pointless restores etcc etc.

I would appreciate if you could help me out here because that "other data" thing is really really irritating.

Thank you.
