Q: Unaccountable space loss
I have an iPhone 6 w 128gig. The about menu it tells me that it has 114gig total space, 77 free and 37 used. When i plug in my phone to my computer in order to sync it shows me a graph on the bottom of what each section is using in space. When i add the "music" " photos" " other" "apps" and everything else that it lists below it totals 23 gig. where did the other 14gig go?
I did notice at one point i had 10gig of photos. The other day i copied the photos to my computer. Generally i delete them right from the Windows Explorer window, but this time i wanted to delete them from the phone. So i deleted them from the camera roll and then deleted the "recently deleted folder" to make sure everything was cleared. iTunes still showed i had 10gig of photos. I tried to close and reopen itunes. plug and unplug the phone, but it still showed i had 10gig. So i synced the phone again and it went down to its usual 1gig of photos that i sync in folders. This is when the phone shows i have 75gig free when i should have closer to 90. The funny thing is that this data is not showing up in the "other" or any of the other sections.
Any idea where this data is or how i can reclaim my space?
iPhone 6, iOS 8
