I have 60GB other data after updating to iOS 8.1, how do I get rid of it?

I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1 last week and now I have 60GB "other" data on my 128GB phone. WTH? How do I get rid of it?

Hmm, I did receive an email saying that the thread was deleted, but did not explain why for some reason. It sounds like the Level 7 guy caused this. I will call Apple tomorrow to find out who is responsible. And see if I can lodge a complaint against that user. Maybe it was because of what the Level 7 guy was saying.
There was useful information posted in that threat that addressed the issue that I am experiencing. I will try to reiterate from the apple website, it says.
Recovery mode
If you've never synced your device with iTunes, or haven't set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to put your device in recovery mode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
This will erase the device and its passcode.
Disconnect all cables from your device.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK. Then restore the device.
If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.
They suggested that I try this over again until it works. It did not work for me the first time.

I have the exact same problem & just posted a similar question. FYI, I'm using a Go Daddy, POP account.
The problem is tied to the upgrade to ios 5.   Last week, I upgraded to ios 5 on my 3G to make sure my PC was current when I recieved my 4G this week.
On the 3G, I had to delete over 2,600 emails and thought all would be fine with the new 4G but NO.   Now I have over 3000 emails to delete on my 4G!    They are all the same ones I just got done deleting last week + other emails that were deleted last week.
Very frustrating!    Sure hope there is a way to delete all these emails at once!!!!!
Delete them from the GoDaddy account on the website

\Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

Howdy syafiqahmad,
If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.

After updating to iOS 7.1.1 i am getting no wifi on my iphone 5

After updating to iOS 7.1.1 i am getting no wifi on my iphone 5, i did reset network connection and router. stand right in front router and was unable to connect to my wifi at home. Before it was working just fine with previous ios.

I am having the same problem. Since I updated to 7.1.1 iPhone 5 will not connect to my Home Wifi. It will not connect to my freinds Wifi even though it has the password saved from a previos date. (Different Brand) Ok, Lets 'assume' that the OP's router is ok, mine is ok and my freinds is ok and go from there. There is no point at this stage blaming the Wifi routers and making changes to the settings when it's clearly an iPhone issue.
''Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.''
This has to be the worst peice of advice i've heard in a long time given the problem in question. Cmon!!! My Raspi, Macbook, Android phone and PC is connecting to the wifi, I wouldn't start at the router to solve my iPhones (Ongoing) wifi problems.
I had this problem travelling for a month in Asia. Even after numerous inconvenient restores and resets. It wouldnt connect to 90% of wifi routers out there and then give up even if it did. It's very frustrating.
Apple. You need to address this issue.
Edit.. Just did a Wifi reset on my iPhone. It hasn't worked. Also, my battery which was showing 5% is now showing 35% lol. *** is going on with this phone...Well another full reset here we come. Done about 4 this year already.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

I have updated to the newest software on my iphone 5 but still have the red notification circle on the settings app. How do I get rid of it?

I have updated to the newest software on my iphone 5 but still have the red notification circle on the settings app. How do I get rid of it? TIA for help.

OK, a couple questions for you. You say you have "the latest" iOS update installed on your iPhone, but you don't mention what version that is. Would you please tell us what the version number is for your iPOS installation? Also, you have the "banner" on your Settings App, but is the banner for in iOS update, or is it for something else? Do you have a new provile, or an expiring profile, or possibly Notifications that may be triggering that?

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it delete cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Your Other is so large, however, that there may be corrupt data contained in it (unless you send a lot of MMS messages with large attachments). If this is the case you should restore the phone as New.

Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

"Other" includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc. It should normally be about 1 GB. Yours in an indication there may be corrupt data on your phone.
Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes. Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
