1.93 Gb of Other storage

I've been having trouble converting a couple of videos from quicktime to iPad format. I thought the conversion worked but when I tried to play them on the iPad they wouldn't play. I'm going to redo the conversion so that isn't really my question. But after I deleted the two videos that wouldn't play from my iPad it seemed as if the "Other" storage jumped up quite a bit. I'm worried that the space for the movies didn't all get reclaimed. As I recall Other storage used to be under 1GB but now its 1.93. One of my goals is to squeeze as many movies on the iPad as I can for a long trip so every GB counts.
I realize its possible I was mistaken about how much Other space was allocated in the past but I don't think so. I'm guessing my only option would be to restore the iPad. If I do that since everything is backed up on my Mac I won't loose any iBooks or Apps correct? Is that my only option? Am I correct that 1.93Gb for Other storage (out of 64) is a lot?

Thanks, I thought it was a lot. I just remembered the "hard reboot" option from the documentation (holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time). I did that and it reclaimed the space! Now Other is back down to 426Mb which is more or less what it was. thanks.

  • Lumia 620 and other storage problem

    Hi,
    I own a L620 and I'm having a lot of problems with the "Other" storage. Currenty it is occupying 2GB. I have reflash it and hard reset it a lot of times but it always keep growing...
    Is there any fix? What can I do?
    I'm thinking in but another mobile phone because of this...

    Have you tried copying many files to the intrenal storage? this should make the phone release space from other storage and once freed it will remain so. After this you can simply remove the files you copied.
    Otherwise a reset would be the only thing I can think of. This is an OS issue and it's MSFT who will (and should) be fixing this.

  • Why do i have a lot of "other" storage?

    I just restored my iPod touch 5. It was having problems syncing doubles of all my music. I restored my iPod and re synced all my music. All my music synced properly but now I have over 11 GB of "other" storage. How do i get rid of the other storage. I feel like it might be backed up data.

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • How do I get rid of "other" storage

    How do I get rid of "other" storage or why is there so much dedicated to it?
    PLEASE HELP!
    I have an iPod touch 32Gb 4th generation with:
    - 19Gb of music
    - 2Gb of TV Shows
    - 3Gb of Apps
    - 3.3Gb of "Other"
    Here is the troubleshooting attempted:
    - Not syncing music or TV Shows.  Result: I still have 2.1Gb of "Other
    - Not syncing apps. Results: No difference
    - Restoring iPod with lastest backup: No difference
    - Restoring iPod from scratch and putting back everything back on: No difference.
    I am out of ideas.
    Please, please help!
    Thanks.

    Apps and the iOS need space for cache, temp or working file space, app-specific or in-use specific settings and a host of things.
    I also ran into a problem when the "other" has grown to nearly 7 gigabytes in about two weeks of periodic use.
    If it's cache and temporary space for applications, sorting, and other things - how the system adjusts its?
    Under what conditions is it decreasing?
    For example, if the "other" has grown to 10 Gb or even more, and I was left with only 7 Gb free capacity, the only way to regain the 10 GB - this is reset and recovery? It's not a very convenient way...

  • How do I empty or delete "other" storage capacity

    I noticed that I have 15gb of "other" storage on my ipad.  Im not sure what it is, or what it consists of.... is there any way I can clean this out?
    Thank you!!

    "Other" consist of quite a variety of files and data, including the data stored by any number of third party apps, as well as mail messages and their attachments and text messages (but not the apps themselves). You can get a better sense of what is using storage by opening the Settings app > General > Usage Manage Storage [under Storage].

  • "Other" Storage taking up too much space

    I have a macbook pro that's almost 2 years old now. When I checked storage, it said I have 187GB of Other storage. How can I find out what these files are? My HD seems to be running out of space. And Others is the only thing left for me to check.

    Other is just that; everything besides the categories listed.
    OSX, it's work files, caches, logs, etc.
    Everything in user accounts other than the categories listed, such as documents, spreadsheets, emails, contacts, etc.
    See Lion's Storage Display for details.

  • ATP check avoid block other storage location

    Hi Gurus,
    Let's say there is 4000 EA available in storage location 1000, but in the order we enter 5000EA. I don't want to addition 1000 EA block other storage location like 1603/1608, only block own location 1000 waiting for replenishment.
    We defined the storage location in sales order, but still the ATP check will block the stock in other storage location.
    Can I know your idea?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Couple of notes you can check of;

  • Can anyone explain what the 'other' storage consists of and how I can decrease the size please?

    Can anyone explain what the 'other' storage consists of and how I can decrease the size please?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    "Other" refers to OS X files, caches, downloads, documents. See Other in this website > http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html
    I would not worry about Other because they contain files that you need, but if you want to decrease the size, start deleting downloads and documents

  • How can I clean up my "Other" Storage?!!!

    I have used OmniDiskSweeper, Disk Inventory X, Disk Doctor, etc! It helps clean up storage that I can see but cannot find what is taking up 65GB of Other storage!! PLEASE HELP!

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning your files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Why does other storage build up so fast?

    I just did a complete restore and back up yesterday, 'cuz I had no storage space remaining.  I have no movies, no music, barely any photos or apps installed.  After the restore I freed up almost 9 GB out of 12 GB of storage space.  The only thing that I have used the iPad for since is to watch YouTube and surf with Safari.  So, why have I accumulated over half a GB of other storage already? 
    THanks!

    Hi Bubba314,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    You are able to view how much each app is taking up storage space, which can help you determine what is taking up space on your iPad.  Take a look at the information in the article below for more information.

  • Other storage space

    After syncing and installing ios, I lost all my music and my other storage space is over 9gb. How do I get rid of this?

    You need to restore your iPhone from a backup to clear the "other" data. If that does not work you must restore it as new.

  • "other storage"?

    My iphone 4g has 9GB of "other" storage - what is this and how do I get rid of it? DiskAid doesn't work with my operating system. I have tried restoring but I am reluctant to do a complete reset.
    Thank you,

    You are probably using (a lot of) apps which download stuff like YouTube downloaders and UC browser. All these downloads are stored there and they can only be removed through the respective apps.
