My Pinterest app takes up almost 4GB on my IPhone 5? How do I reduce that size? It's awful.

Question

I barely have any storage left because the app takes up almost half of it. How do I reduce the size without having to delete the app? Thanks!

Basically it's explained in the title. But I've unselected all the things I have that I want on my iPhone to see if it would show that there were zero songs but it still shows that they're are 600 and I don't know how they're on there or how to get them off... please help me!
With your iPhone connected to iTunes, click on the Music tab where you set your sync selections.  Scroll to the bottom of the window ... do you see a category labeled something like "Manually added items"?  This can get populated with songs, which then get pushed to your device even if you have not selected them in any playlists, nor by artists or albums.
Songs in this category get there two ways:
(a) iTunes purchases you make directly to your device (i.e. not via your computer).  Such songs are transferred to your library on the next sync, but they remain on your device even if you don't want them sync'd.
(b) Even though you auto-sync, you can manually drag and drop songs onto your device, which lets you take a hybrid approach to syncing, auto and manual.  If you ever did this, such songs fall into this category.
In either case, you can select all the songs in this "Manually added" category and delete them, then initiate a sync to remove them.  See if that helps.
If you don't see songs in this category, look for randomly-selected albums and/or artists in your sync selection.  Lately I've been seeing things selected that I know I did not select for syncing.
