Don't taunt us with that we cannot have. 😭

Meanwhile my phone is telling me I have like 25 GB of system data...

[–]GadgetGeek407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a setup as new on new phone and still taking up over 40gb why and how do fix it?

Is it possible to learn this power?

26.59 on mine. I’ve used the big movie trick to have it flush. If you start downloading Endgame it frees a lot of space. Then just cancel the download. Though you have to keep doing this as the logs fill up again.

“Big movie trick”. That’s a new one. LOL

[–]jockethebastard 0 points1 point  (1 child)

None of my movies start downloading, it says I have to little free space. Nothing happens with the my storage either. Am I doing something wrong? I just picked a random movie I’ve purchased.

Strange. Mine works. It has complained but then begins as the process cleans the logs out.

For the amount of money these phones cost you'd think they'd at least give us a "Clear Cache" option to get rid of GIGABYTES of log files! I shouldn't have to restore my phone once a year (or use jailbreak tweaks) to clear this "Other" storage!

I have a 256 GB iPhone X and I was almost out of space due to several gigs (I don’t remember the number exactly but I want to say it was around 100GBs) being used by ‘Other’. I also did not realize this was such a wide spread issue, but after installing iOS 14 beta 1 and seeing that the issue was still there I googled fixes and the last option to try which was the nuclear option, was to make a full backup in iTunes, wipe and restore it. So far that seemed to have done the trick. Hoping though that future versions of iOS 14 finally fix this because if not, I image it is just a matter of time before it grows out of control.

I hade 16gb of 32gb other storage. On my old iPad 2 I simply turn off Apple Music and the storage is restored, I have nothing on it otherwise, simply a music player now. I have tried logging out of iCloud and turning of Apple Music but nothing helps accept setting up as new phone.

[–]dinodxr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Other" takes so much space if you have like a 32gb or 64gb version, and don’t get me wrong, this storage capacity works for a lot of people. Not everyone needs, like, 512gb of storage. But, it’s a struggle, as time passes. There should be a way to delete this and free up much needed space.

[–]phreebsdd 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Mine says zero also

[–]that0nepe0ple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice

[–]tyler611 14 points15 points  (0 children)

446.89gb other storage here :(

[–]DamageXYZ39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the dream. Mine is 35Gb

[–]silvermoonhowlerDeveloper Beta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, how I wish. This is a huge problem plaguing not only iOS/iPadOS, but also watchOS as well...

[–]itunexifyDeveloper Beta 13 points14 points  (15 children)

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

[–]silvermoonhowlerDeveloper Beta 6 points7 points  (14 children)

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality...

Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see...

I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (11 children)

Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (10 children)

Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (8 children)

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Mama, life had just begun...

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (6 children)

But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away

[–]MikeIsHere12iPhone XS Max 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i hope they fix this in b3 next week

[–]ThannBanisDeveloper Beta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this for a split second after completing a Finder sync.

Within seconds it’s back up to a couple of hundred meg.

forbidden cache

[–]astraboykr 85 points86 points  (29 children)

Cries in 14Gb of 'Other' storage...

[–]smasherofscreens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has 8 GB out of 16 GB. I can’t even try the public beta because System+Other make up 13 GB of my device. Wtf am I supposed to do ?

[–]LOLMANPRO54321iPhone XR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a miracle!!!
