Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.


Many simply do not read such posts.


You cannot get rid of other. It can be contacts/calendars/favorites/voicemail/etc.


it is completely normal to have 400 - 800 mb of other.


If you have much more that n this, then it indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

Solution


My "other" partition was up to 25G !!!! on my iphone 4S and I didn't want to restore my phone as I would loose important SMS and info on it and re-arrnage 1000 apps again.


I found this link and followed the steps

Using that program suggested was free too. I used it straight away after downloading it. I removed my files in

"media Folder". These 3 folders was where I found the solution.


- Music - all the "F" files

- ApplicationArchives - all the big stuff

- Recordings - all currupt M4a in there


Vola! My phone now has 25GB back!!!!! Other is just 26 killo bytes! yes Killo bytes!


Hope that helps


Cheers
