Guaranteed fix to iPad/iPhone 'Other' storage - no restore required

I'm so sorry it isnt working... it solves my 'Other' excess storage problems every time...

OK if it helps anyone any, I did this ' trick' (trick only for me, it seems) while my iPad was connected to the PC. I could see the yellow ' Other' reduce instantly

have not yet tried it when not connected...

Also try the usual - clear Safari's cache, and also periodically clear the Mail app as it takes up a lot of space with attachments etc

And for some reason, the iDevice must be restarted for the reduction in 'Other' to be seen

OK, once more, try pretty much in this order

1. Delete and reinstall your mail settings

2. Clear safari cache and history

3. Delete and reinstall facebook, flipboard any of those news things if you have it

4. Try PhoneClean http://www.imobie.com/product/phoneclean-setup.exe (essentially does 1 & 2, but claims to be able to remove sync-failed media files

5. On iTunes, on the summary page,

UNTICK the first

- 'Open iTunes when this iDevice is connected'

make sure the following are TICKED:

- 'Sync only ticked songs and videos'

- 'Convert higher bit-rate songs'

and SYNC

(can always revert settings when the 'Other' has cleaned up)

6. Do my original post -

On Settings, go to Genera l'then 'Reset' (right at the bottom)

Then click 'Reset Network Settings'

This sequence of attempts is avoiding the rest and erase and restore, which is always a good thing, and I really do guarantee you will lose at least SOME if not a GREAT MAJORITY of your 'Other' space

Try all before any complaints please, then if tried-and-failed, then I will accept your complaints 🙂

Happy cleaning!
