Hi - I am muddling through this document/data issue right now...
I'm pretty frustrated as are MANY others, I see... anyway, val825, did you figure out how to fix this?
I'm assuming the documents/data is related to the usage of the various apps that I can see under my settings/usage on my iphone 5? It's not like there's ONE app that's using all the space... rather LOTS of apps that are using just enough to add up to my %12 storage issue.
I've read all kinds of suggestions on these forums, from installing additional "cleaning apps" on both my itunes and my iphone... to clearing the cache's on different apps... to removing the whole app... even clearing my whole iphone and then restoring it... to deleting the backup videos on your apps on your iphone. (I THOUGHT when I dumped them into iTunes as a back up.... and iTunes asked me if I wanted to DELETE them... that I did.) I guess I didn't because I still see MB of storage under these apps too, and I don't show any videos on my iphone. Oh- and the most recent "simple" suggestion but not a QUICK one: "you just need to go through and clear out your mail (sent and received), texts, backups of the FB pics you uploaded, etc..."
Riiiiiiight. Excellent suggestion... if I had the time?
I'm assuming the last suggestion might work - I guess I'm wondering why I had a LOT of extra space before I upgraded to the i0S 7 --- BUT now I am seeing 12% of space called "data & documents" used??? I have the SAME amount of data/settings on my phone now, that I had had just an hour before? Seems like something is "off" here.
Looks like the i0S7 is my nemesis... would LOVE to meet the team that thought this software was "ready" to launch - I've just spent four hours with a phone that was in "recovery mode" after trying to insall the upgrade, only to have to research and then restore my iphone, and THOUGHT it was fixed... to NOW find out there's a "glitch" in this new UPGRADE that has me using 12% of my 16% storage that I wasn't using before... even a mere "consumer" can tell something was wrong with this "upgrade" before it launched, if there are this many forums devoted to this subject!
I'm ASSUMING you (val825) had the same thoughts, and it's why you worked on it for so long? Can you help? I would really, really, really appreciate a simple fix that doesn't involve deleting all my apps or clearing them out completely... BUT I understand if you (or another?) can't give me a simple answer. Just really need clarification - and QUICK! 🙂
Thanks in advance! B
