    Hello johnfrombrooks,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If you'd like to learn more about what content lives in those storage categories on your iOS device, then please take a look at the information below.

     

    Use iTunes to check the storage on your iOS device

    1. Open iTunes and select your device. You'll see a bar that shows how much storage your iOS content uses, divided by content type. 
    2. Hover your mouse over a content type, like Other or Apps, to find more information:

    Here is a list of the types of content on your iOS device, and what each type includes:

    • Audio: Songs, audio podcasts, audiobooks, voice memos, and ringtones
    • Video: Movies, music videos, and TV shows
    • Photos: Camera Roll content, Photo Stream, and Photo Library
    • Apps: Installed apps
    • Books: iBooks books and PDF files
    • Documents & Data: Safari Offline Reading List, files created within apps, and app content like contacts, calendars, messages, and emails (and their attachments)
    • Other: Settings, Siri voices, system data

    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Have a good one.
