Hi, someone please help if you can- Downloading music of computer, what's "other"?

Hey everyone, so i've been downloading some music from my computer onto my ipod, and when i do, it says "1.10 GB audio, 1.82 GB photos, 0.62 GB apps, 2.4 GB free, and 2.4 GB 'Other'". I've been trying to get back as much space as i can, by deleting photos, apps, etc. But what i can't figure out is, what kinds of things count as "Other"? I really don't know, and its not helping with the storage. It's such a waste of space, and i don't even know what things on my iPod get counted as "Other", so i don't know what to delete! Please, I'd really appreciate it if someone would help me. 🙂

Thank you so much.

iPod touch (4th generation)

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

To restore from backup see:

iOS: How to back up

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
