How do I remove "other" data from my phone?

I recently tried downloading a movie in the SD format that was around 2gb or so. I had over 2gb of empty spac eon my phone to rent the movie. the movie started to download fine and I left it to download. I went to videos and the rental shows up however it says there isn't enough room to download it. there is no data under videos howver there is over 2gb of added data to my phone under the "other". Itunes continually wants me to download this rental but I can't with 190mb. I'm guessing the movie already downloaded and something went wrong and it wants me to download it again. I did get a refund for the movie but the space it takes up is still there. Does anyone know how can I remove this data? I tried restoring a backup and emailing customer support and nothing has changed.

  • How can I remove safari data from shared iCloud account?

    Before iOS 8 and family sharing I was using a single iCloud account shared among several Apple devices in my household.  Now that we are all using our own separate Apple Accounts I want to delete shared data from other devices that were using my iCloud account.  For example, my wife and I both have data synched with iCloud (the same account) for Safari.  Now that her phone has been switched over to her own AppleID, I want to purge the data stored in my icloud account from her device.  When I open Safari on my phone, I can see a list at the bottom of tabs that my wife had open on her phone at one time in the past.  That list will never get updated now that she is using her own account.  So how do I purge old data from other devices off my iCloud account? 

    If she's on a different account now, Safari data from the previous account should no longer be on her device.  iCloud tabs, on the other hand, will persist from a device that is no longer sharing the account for 14 days, after which they are automatically cleared.  (This is coming from iCloud, not from her device.)  You might try waiting a couple of weeks and see if they aren't automatically removed.
    If you're still concerned, you could always ask her to go to Settings>Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data.  This won't clear her iCloud tabs from your device though; you'll have to wait for that.

  • How can I remove I cloud from my phone without a password ??

    I forgot my OLD password and even the e-mail addy is an old one .
    How can I delete I-cloud from my phone without a password I have been trying for an hour
    with no succes.
    The pop-up box keep coming up for me to sign into I-cloud and I can't.
    Can someone help please ??

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do you remove EXIF data from a video shot on an iPhone5s?

    I'm trying to remove location metadata from a video of my daughter before posting to YouTube and can't figure it out.  I tried opening the video in Adobe Premiere and Bridge and both don't display the location data for some reason, they fields are just blank.  But I can see the locaction data if opened in Quicktime or iPhoto, but neither program allows you to edit the EXIF data for some reason.  And any app I find seems to only work on photos and not videos.  Any thoughts?  I'd love to upload this video without revealing our exact location.  Thanks.

  • How do I remove "Other", permanently, from my iPhone 5S?

    I have an iPhone 5S, 16 GB, AT&T, iOS 7.1.2. When I plug my phone into iTunes, it tells me that I have a certain amount of "Other". People say that it can be anything from pics from text messages being stored to corrupt music files. Before I get into what it actually going on, I'd like to let EVERYONE know, I have done the following, more than once:
    1. Restore from Backup 2x
    2. Restore from New 2x
    3. I have erased all music files, even though I have NO music on my phone.
    4. I have cleared all caches, emptied emails and images.
    5. I have run all sorts of programs on my computer.
    6. I have lost all my info 3 times already doing backups and restores.
    7. I have even been to Apple. They did a restore from new, which is what I told them I already did, and it erased all my "Other"...for 5 whole minutes. By time I got home, I was full on "Other"
    With that being said, I look at my usage in my settings. It tells me I have no available memory. I have 12.1 GB used. When I add up ALL of my app usage, I get a total of 1.3 total GB being used by ALL my apps. Yet I have 11.75 GB of "Other". I can't even take a single photo while working! I use my phone for a camera in my line of work and I can't even take one single photo! Yet, after doing a restore or clearing caches, iTunes will show that "Other" goes from a lot to less than 2 GB. But literally, 5 mins later, I walk outside to take a photo and my phone tells me I have reached my limit on storage. I have 7 total photos on my phone. Photo Stream is turned off. WHY? I find it absolutely unbelievable that not one person from Apple can explain what "Other" is. I don't want to hear that it contains this, or it has to do with that...Obviously i am not the only one having this issue, so why can't one employee give us a definitive answer?
    Again, please don't reply with any solution that I have mentioned above. I have tried it all, I have been to the Apple Store, nothing has worked. I don't have time to wait at Apple for an hour at a time, when I already have an appointment, just to have them tell me the same crap over and over.  I simply just want a true answer on what EXACTLY "Other" is. My usage in my settings says something completely different than what iTunes tells me.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.
