    The other catrgory includes system files and saved game data. The only way to see what's in it and to delete it is to jailbreak (which I don't recomend doing right now) but if you would like to do that, you need to root the phone, however I don't want to get into jailbreak stuff on an Apple run forum.

    I had a huge "other" problem and researched everything it could be.  I had no documents and not many apps.  It turned out to be my TEXTS, which I never deleted.  I took the time to delete old text converstaions from my phone and my "other" category shrunk to nothing!   What a relief!
