How to remove other storage from iPhone 5

I have 3.9G of other storage on my iPhone 5 and deleting messages , call logs etc does not seem to be working. Without restoring every app how can i reduce other storage? I have tried downloading iphone-cleaner but it charges 20 dollars, surely there is a free/ cheaper way!

I cannot delete your posts. As I explained, only the Hosts can.
And if you can find it in your heart to actually pass on the feedback that the pre installed apps not being able to easily be gotten rid of is a problem, then that would be great.
Use the feedback link I gave in my first post.
Apparently one of your hosts deleted his own post where he called me an idiot for necroing this thread, where it's still an issue. Obviously I'm not so naive as to think it'd be changed on one person's say-so, but the fact that he deleted his own post is problematic and goes to trust and accountability.

  • How to remove "other" files from iphone memory

    Concerning how the memory is used on the Iphones under the "other" category, I have found that the biggest culprit is text messages that include photos and videos sent and received. Think about it, when you take a picture and then send it, even though you delete it from your camera roll, it is still necessary to hold in memeory as being part of the text history. It is only removed from the phone when you delete it from the text message as well. This also applies to text messages received. This is a large hidden area to most people!
    good luck.

    Restore the iOS.  You may have to do this as a new phone (without using a backup).  Note that "other" contains messages and emails - if you have a lot of these, especially with photos/videos, that would account for the other usage.

  • How to remove songs/albums from Iphone 5 S and itunes library inorder to add new songs

    I have an Iphone 5, 7.1.2 model.  I have been attempting to add new songs onto my phone but do not have any available space.  Although I have deleted and removed apps and other space eating products from my phone, I still do not have enough space to add the new songs that I would like to include on my phone.  The final option would be for me to remove some songs from my phone that I no longer listen to.  Problem is, I can't seem to find a way or any direction on just how to do that.  Wonder if anyone has successfully removed songs from their phone and/or library as a way to free up space to replace them with new songs?

  • How to remove apple id from iphone 3G

    Hi,  My husband and I have shared an apple id for sometime.  It has just caused complications because he is in Europe and Facetime and Imessage are not working properly on our phones because we have the same id.  AT&T advised me to sign up for a new id and remove the old one from the icloud only on my iphone 3g replacing it with a new one.  They said we could still share our music and apps but using separate ids in the cloud would resolve the conflict.  I cannot seem to remove the id on my phone and am wondering how to do this, or any other ideas for how we can keep sharing our music without causing problems with facetime and imessage.  Any ideas?  Thanks

    Settings>iCloud. Log out
    Settings>Messages. Log out of iMessage
    Settings>Facetime. Log out of Facetime.
    Then, log back in to each of those using your new Apple ID.

  • How to remove petroleum jelly from iphone speaker?

    The lid of the jar came off in my purse and the bottom of my iphone 4s got smothered in petroleum jelly? How can I remove it from my speakers so that they aren't muffled? I got nearly all of it out but it wasn't until 2 days later I ride the bus home and the the warmth must have leaked it into the speakers. D:

    It might be difficult to remove it all. Petroleum jelly liquefies at a fairly low temperature though. Try using a hair dryer - not too hot - while holding the iPhone vertically so that the remaining contaminant can drip out the speaker port. Absorb the liquid with a paper towel.

  • How to delet 'other' memory from iphone

    My iphone works fine, but I have a problem with the memory of my 8gb phone, i have 2.2 gb of music and one app thats 9mb and when i try to download another app it says i do not have enough memories, i go to seetings to see whats wrong then it says thats 4.3 gb is other? How do I delet the other memory i am not using.

    Good day all,
    I have a 4S that had 5+G of "other" that I was trying to free up.  I searched and searched, tried all the suggestions and had no success.  I tried a full restore and freed up the memory but didn't want to loose all my settings, app folders, etc.  After a process of elimination the solution that worked for me was to delete txt messages!  When I went from the 3G to the 4S I restored from a back up.  I've never delete any of my txt message history...  so all that information, photos, videos, etc were being caried from one device to the other for like 3 years!
    I started with a test.  Pluged in my 4S, synced it.  Registered 5.2GB of "other".  I ejected the phone from itunes.  I deleted my wifes txt message (with whom I txt the most).  I plugged back in and "other" dropped down by an entire Gig!!  So, I tried again with another that I txt often...  and sure enough when down another Gig.
    So, I decided to take the plug and start off fresh...  I deleted ALL of my txt messages and my "other" memory went down to .52gigs!
    This is why a FULL restore has been successful for those trying to clear out "other" memory.  When you initiate a Full restore, you are cleaning out your entire memory of txt messages which includes large files of photos and videos!
    So this is what worked for me folks!  I hope it helps someone!

  • How to remove photo album from IPhone 5

    I copied a photo album from my PC to my IPhone (for a slideshow at a funeral).  The photos did not originate on the IPhone.  Now I want to remove this photo album, but there does not seem to be any way to do so.  The Iphone does not appear to allow for removal, and the album does not appear in ITunes on my PC.
    The Settings>General>Usage tab allows me to delete all of my music, thus allowing me to reinstall what I want, but this feature isn't available for photos.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    An excerpt from this support document: iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • How to remove a calendar from iphone 3gs?

    I am not using mobile me.
    I have been syncing my iphone calendar with outlook via an m.google.com sync.
    I thought that i would be able to sync 2 different calendars so i created a second one. Since I cannot have 2 calendars (i can live with this) I'd like to get rid of the extra calendar from my iphone.
    Thank you

    Not being a Windows user I am not sufficiently familiar with the process of removing your second calendar as I don't use m.google.com sync. However there is a way of having multiple Google calendars on your PC if you want. If you follow my instructions from here on setting up CalDAV sync between GCal and the iPhone then follow Google's instructions from here on syncing with Sunbird. It would mean you changing your calendar from Outlook to Sunbird as Outlook isn't supported for CalDAV sync with GCal whereas Sunbird is
