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.
Also see the first section ("Other on your iDevice") here:

    because you want to put more Documents & Data on it.
    Make sure you sync photos to computer then delete from Camera Roll. (Camera Roll photos are part of Documents & Data).
    Delete some apps on the iPhone.
    Then Restore iPhone in iTunes.

  • What is documents and data and how do I remove it?

    When I updated my phone I noticed documents and took up a lot of space. What is it and how do I remove that?

    I made some significant discoveries on the Documents and Data battle last night and wanted to share.
    1) Turning off Documents & Data made no difference in the 4.7GB chunk of mystery space being used up by D&D on my iPhone 4S.
    2) Removing Texts did help, but I was still left with 4.1GB of mystery space. I had one text message with my son in the USAF that had lots of videos and pictures. I made sure to save them to my Camera Roll before deleting. But that one text was over .5GB. So Texts matter.
    3) Backing up and Restoring just my Settings did not eliminate any of that 4.1GB.
    4) Reseting my phone as a new phone initially did, until I added my two email accounts.
    JACKPOT.
    5) My Gmail account, upon extensive review, retains all the same folders on my phone as it does in my Gmail account on the computer (which I've never once visited). I looked in each folder until I came across one that said All Mail...containing 830 emails that date back to the establishment of that email address in the summer of 2012. On my phone there is no option to delete those, other than the painful process of going Edit>Tap>Tap>Tap>Tap>Scroll>Tap>Tap...830 times. I logged onto my Gmail account on the my computer, visited the All Mail folder, did a mass delete (100 items at a time) and then emptied the Trash
    6) All 830 items were still on my iphone and were not budging without individually being deleted and I couldn't find a Sync with Gmail type option, so I deleted the Gmail account and then added it back to my phone immediately.
    BOOM - Docments and Data went to 60.1MB. 
    The good news is that if you have a Gmail account and need to fish out an old email, you probably can. You have to work at it to make them go away. I had one come in this morning and had to flush it through my Inbox, the All Mail and then the Trash to get rid of it. I've opted to instead use the Gmail app for that account to save me this drama again.
    I also use an iPad and through the cloud, had duplicates of ALL my text messages and the gmail account. Which explains the 'your storage is almost full' messages I've  been fighting.
    I am happily restoring all my music and plan to spend today in an 80s music haze. I hope this helps someone.
    Good luck to all.

  • 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!

    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 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.

  • Ihave over 7gb of saved text messages that i cant delete, ive deleted all my texts and it still says that. ive read that backing up with icloud and turning off documents and data would eliminate this issue... well how...?

    icloud will not allow me to backup my phone because of the 7gb of data its too much for the 5gb free space on icloud and i have the documents and data turned off in the icloud settings so i dont understand whats taking up all the space? the only thing i have on the settings is my photos and thats only 4gb. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Turn off documents and data

    I don't want to backup my documents and data on iCloud.  When I try to turn this option off, I see "If you turn off documents and data, all documnets stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac"
    Yikes! What the heck is that all about and how can I get around it?

    The documents and data will remain on the iCloud server and your Mac will no longer have access to them if your turn this off.  To keep a local copy, you'll need to save them first as discussed under "Documents" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.

  • What does document date represents in VA05 screen?

    Dear gurus,
    What does document date represents in VA05 screen?
    Thanks Regards

    Hi,
    It is the date on which the document is created.It is the date on which the sales document becomes valid for sales and distribution processing.
    The document date is different for each document. In the quotation, the document date is the date from which the quotation is valid. In the sales order, it is the date from which the agreement becomes binding.
    In general it will be the document creation date.
    Regards,
    Krishna.
