Quick question, how do I clear the OTHER (about 2gb) on my iPhone? I googled it, etc but no answer came up.
ANy idea?
For people who have a gig or more of space being taken up by "other " on Itunes. try this from reddit
i used ifunbox
One of the first things I was able to download when the jailbroke came out was iFile I proceeded to explore some things and quickly noticed something I hadn't seen before. iOS 6 on my iPhone 5 seems to be saving every single piece of media I've ever sent through iMessage or SMS even if the conversation was deleted.
Head over to /Var/mobile/library/SMS/attachments/ and you'll see a bunch of folders inside those folders they'll be more folders and inside this folders there should be the images. I saved 2.7GB of space by delete all of these and definitely got rid for good of pictures I don't want on my device.
Let me know if you guys notice yours is very full as well and just out of curiosity if there's a way to stop it from being saved.
Edit: Just an addendum added to this if you don't have or can't install iFile to your phone you can also do this thru SSH or Ifunbox navigating to the same screen
Just make sure if your going to do this again to NOT have BiteSMS installed
Apple doesn't delete old images from your text and iMessages even if you delete the conversations. Well these all get stored in /var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments. Unfortunately they get stored in random folders with all your current images too. The easist way to do this would be to go through your texts and save all the images you want to make sure you keep in your photo library and then just delete the whole folder
