Documents and Data on iPhone

I am trying to make more room on my iPhone.  I've gone through all my apps and can't find one that would store documents or data.  Is there a way to find out what is occupying this space?  I've gone through and practically shut off every other sync category.  Thanks!

I have this same issue.  I had to restore my NEW iphone 6 to factory settings yesterday and upgrade to 8.2 after having issues with syncing  in itunes (and an explosion in my "other' category of 28gb). And after three hours on the phone with Apple I still cannot sync (128 gb phone and cannot load my music)!  I did however go into my Icloud settings this morning and turned off "documents and data" for my backup and now the whole line item option is not even in the menu anymore it has completely disappeared.  It seems every day brings a new issue!  Not liking my new phone  I do not want to hear one more person tell me to restore!  I simply did not pay all this money to have to restore everytime I make a change to my iphone!!!!  Oh and I also have NOT upgraded to iCloud drive.

  • Will documents and data in iphone increase until storage becomes full?

    iphone documents and data size

    You need to go over the scenario in more detail.
    Which iPhone do you have?  Which version of ios do you have?
    There is not auto delete.  Stuff stays around until you delete it.
    The largest items are videos followed by pictures.
    I'm lazy.  I wait til things fill up then delete some apps I have not used in a long time.

  • Cannot find icloud documents and data on iphone 6

    I have NOT upgraded to iCloud drive. I went into my settings to use documents and data as I have a few apps that need to sync. The option is not present on the menu anymore.

  • How to delete documents and data off of iphone 4s

    Im trying to free up some room on my phone. I got rid of some apps and movies and did what i can but when i plug my phone in there is more Documents & data then i have as apps and music. i just want to get ride of some documents that are saved in my phone but  dont now hot to delete them.

    Document & Data on iPhone is junks files including browser history, cookies, logs, caches of photos and videos, database files stored by your apps. You’ll notice that some apps while being very small themselves have accumulated a lot of data. An example of this is shown in the image below, you see that the Facebook app is 109 MB whereas the Documents & Data stored is 1.2 GB. This 1.2 GB is what goes into your “Other” data.
    These apps on iPhone don’t provide a way to delete Documents and Data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app is not the best option here. With the help of CleanMyPhone or PhoneClean you can delete the documents and data on iPhone without deleting the app itself.

  • What is documents and data in storage?

    My iPhone 4S has been threatening with being full for ages and I just don't have that much stuff on it. Photos, videos, apps, and music all account for less than half of the 16gb space on the phone. When I plugged it in to back up my files (since it just deleted ALL of my contacts over night), it is showing that over half of the storage space is being taken up by "documents and data" - anyone know what this is? I need to delete most of it to clear room for more photos!

  • Why is my "Documents and Data" section taking up so much space on my iPhone?

    Before I updated my iPhone to iOS7, my "Other" section was giant, taking up over 4 GB! After I updated, the section split into "Other" and "Documents and Data". My "Other" section is under control now, but my "Documents and Data" section has over 3 GB, and I can't figure out why. I deleted many, many texts and it hardly changed the usage in this section. I've searched all over Google and Apple and can't seem to find a solution.
    I don't even know what this space is used for. What falls under the usage of "Documents and Data"?
    And how can I minimize this usage?!
    Someone please help!
    Thanks!!

    According to Apple at the time to the iOS launch, it was confirmed that the iOS 8 in iPhone 6 will consume maximum 3GB of space.
    So its actually the iOS 8 and the system files that has been categorized in the OTHER section using 2.83GB of space.

  • What does "Documents and Data" consist of on the iPhone?

    I'm syncing my iPhone and I have a lot of "Documents And Data" Does anyonen know what this consists of on my phone? And what it consists of?

    You can probably get a good idea by going to Settings > General > Usage > Documents & Data.

  • I turned off documents and data in my iCloud setting on my iPhone. How do I turn it back on?

    I turned off "documents and data" from my iCloud settings on
    my iPhone. How do I turn it back on?

    If you're running iOS 8, it's on by default and you don't have the option to turn it off.  You can confirm that it's on by checking Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage and make sure you see your apps are listed under the Documents & Data setting.  (It will only list apps that sync documents & data with iCloud.)

  • What type of files are included as document and data on my iphone

    Hello dsouz,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand wanting to know what data is being stored in Documents & Data and how to manage that space. You can view and remove what is being stored there using the instructions located in the attached article.
    iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
    WARNING:    When you delete items that are stored in iCloud, they are removed from all your devices immediately and permanently.
    Remove iCloud documents using your iOS device
    On an iOS device set up for iCloud Documents & Data, do one of the following:
    With iOS 8: Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage, then tap Manage Storage.
    With iOS 7: Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage.
    Under Documents & Data, tap the app that has a document you want to delete, then tap Edit.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • What is Documents and Data on my iPhone 4 and how do I delete it?

    When I plug my iPhone 4 into my Mac is tells me that Documents and Data is taking up 2.63GB of storage. I have no idea what this is and it is taking up more storage than any of my other tabs (Music, Apps, Photos etc.) I would like to clear this storage to make room for photos and music. I would also like to know where this is coming from.

  • How to delete documents and data from your iphone

    iphone 5s has a lot of things listed in "documents and data" section- and in the "other" section of itunes when updating phone- is there a way to know what is on there so i can delete it?  itunes does not give more information...

    These are 2 different things and have to be address 2 different ways.
    The other, that shows up in iTunes on the bar is memory the device is not recovering, for what every reason.
      To reclaim that you need to wipe the iPhone and setup as new.
    The Documents and Data in the iCloud storage.
      Tap the Doc or data type
      then swipe right to left on the data and press delete

  • How do I delete documents and data on the iPhone 5?

    I've been seeing responses such as turning it off, so I did. However I didnt change my memory at all and when I found out whats using it up it was message with (saved) next to it. So i deleted some conversations from other contacts, but it barely dropped to like 1 GB. I check and check to see what else is being used up and music I don't have a problem with and I always delete pics and apps, like google drive. Can someone tell me how can i delete even more of documents and data?

    Select the iPhone in iTunes and remove the apps.
    Or on the iPhone, Settings > General > Usage.
