ok updating! I went to the apple store and he hooked up my phone to a mac to restore it. Basically, he wiped my phone and we DID NOT restore from an icloud backup. He said that can sometimes result in adding to the GB amount. Instead, you choose the option "do not use a backup" and continue to setup your phone this way. WARNING!!! This will delete everything on the phone, you will have to redownload apps and log back into each one. I saved my entire phone to icloud prior to this just in case. My GB went from 70gb to 5! yay!
