The recurring plague of 'Other Memory'
I am currently at my wits end attempting to solve this problem of why the data designated as 'other memory' contintues to occupy all of the free space on my phone.
To quickly summarize, I used a suggestion mentioned numerous times in previous threads about this topic and did a complete reset of my phone. After restoring a previously saved backup, this shrunk the amount of 'other memory' on my phone from 5GB to 200MB; however, over the course of the past four days that number has ballooned back to 5GB despite me not installing any new apps or using my phone an excessive amount (where it may generate a large cache through various apps.)
So now I am dealing with having to micromanage the 90MB that remains on my phone, constantly juggling between having to delete old photos to take new ones. This is no way to live and if I have to continue attempting to manage the storage on my phone this way, either by painful micromanagement or having to reset and restore my phone every four days, I will dump this rotten product into the toilet and upgrade to a Galaxy instead.
My 5S is running the current iOS and has never been jailbroken. Is there a method to deal with this issue once and for all that I'm unaware of or is this 'other memory' just a feature of the new operating system that I was unaware of?
Please help.
