DO you have WhatsApp installed? Apparently that app is causing a lot of these kinds of problems. If so, delete it, backup, & restore. I understand the new version of WhatsApp fixes the problem.. There is no easy way to just delete the documents & data part. You can try:

Settings > General > Storage > Manage Storage

and see which apps are the biggest offenders. Tap on them. Some apps may give you the option of deleting the documents & data for that app.
