Q: iPod usage problem

I have an iPod touch 5th generation and it says that I have used 26.8GB. I only have 21 apps that are not pre-installed. I have calculated my iPod usage GB and it turns out to be around 5.34GB. I don't understand! Please help. -ME

Sometimes when you delete items they really do not get deleted. Sometimes syncing with iTunes restores the storage for use. However, sometimes a restore is required.

A 32 GB iPod only has about 28 GB available to the user out to the box. The difference between 32 and 28 is is due to the operating system using the storage and of how GB is uses and advertised.

Illaass thanks for replying but I already knew that. I went to the usage on my iPod and it says I have used 26.8 GB when I have only used about 6. And it wouldn't let me film or take any pictures. So I deleted about half of
My apps and it still won't work. I need to know why it says I'm using so many GB when I'm not.

I tried to sync in with iTunes, but it said it can't because one of my songs and 14 other items won't let my ipod sync on the computer. Can you help me deal with that?
