storage issues, not sure how to resolve?

Hello

I few weeks ago, I noticed my music is no longer on my IPhone 6 plus, its nothing big, only 28 songs…

When I went to download the new halo games for IOS, I saw that I didn't have any space all but a few MB… So I deleted apps that I don't use, smallest app was about 30mb and biggest app was 500mb all including data, there were about 100 apps deleted.

I went to download the halo games, thinking that I would have space now but I still don't. I have 44 apps, with a total space of 2.28GB.

My music app says I have no music, but according to iTunes on my mac, there is 28 songs totalling 284mb.

My photos are about 2.5gb.

My documents and data is 1GB.

I have over 5GB of "other"… What is this other, and how do I delete it?

Other is often Application data.
settings.app > General > Usage > Storage - Manage Storage

Tap an app like Tapatalk
App Size: 78.7 MB (this shows up in iTunes as Apps)
Documents & Data: 224 MB (this shows u in iTunes as Other)

There are a LOT of apps that just balloon in size due to ****** use of cache and garbage collection.

You can individually delete and redownload individual apps. But once it gets to a certain point, maybe in your case. Best to backup to iCloud, erase all content and settings, and restore from iCloud. Effectively does a full wipe of all apps.

I have looked into each app's data and they have less than 1mb each, all except one where I have my comics on… but thats 500mb. So the data from my apps is no more than 550mb.

I think I have worked out the "other" space, it is my emails.

Is there away to limit how many emails are kept on the iOS 8?

i switched to Outlook for email. They have a clean cache feature and it's more powerful than the native one
