I've read someplace that this is a bug that affects some people and I'm one of the lucky ones.
I don't want to do a factory reset because there seems to be some content on the ipod that itunes won't back up to my PC for some reason.
I have a 32GB iPod Touch 4 running the latest version ios 6.
iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1, 32GB

"If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4442837?answerId=20054011022#20054011022
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

That seems to be a circular reference back here.
