iPhone 5 storage full

Hello


Constantly getting the "Storage almost full" message pop up on my Iphone 5. It's saying I have 5.1GB used and 279MB available. However in my "manage storage" section it's showing that I'm using less than 2gb of storage. I have about 1gb of music and 1gb from apps/photos etc, where is all the rest of my storage being used? I have minimal apps and photos, the only real thing that takes up space is music and it's only 1gb.


What's going on here?

I had major repeated issues with this (phone says out of storage, and when hook up to computer, iTunes says have 5 GB free). After many restoring many times, each time frustrating because of having to set up my settings, etc. again and again, I got some advice from Apple. They said the iTunes Match was causing the problem. They told me to do this -- If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support and it worked one time. The next time this recurred - two months later, I repeated the info on the link and it didn't work. Calling Apple again. Very frustrated.
