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 Header level data and item level data? Please elaborate.

    What is Header level data and item level data? Please elaborate.
    Details:
    EKKO is Purchasing Document Header; what is purchasing Document Header? who,what and where can i look for this data.
    EKPO is Purchasing Document Item; what is Purchasing document item means?
    what is item level data means?
    When you take the Senario of SRM and ECC; where the purchase data is maintained primarily in SRM or ECC?
    Thanks in advance. I will assign the points only to the valuable information.
    York.

    Hi York,
       You are right in stating EKKO as header and EKPO as line item data. They are maintained in ECC.
    Now for the details about the data:
    In SAP every transaction is referred to as a document. In this case you are talking about a purchase document. Now what does purchaing document contain? I will contain information like: Who is the vendor? When was the transaction done? what was bought? What is the quantity of each item bought?
      Whatever is applicable across the document is called header data... and what is applicable for each item is called line item data. In this case
    1. Header data would be the vendor, date of transaction, purchaing organization ... etc.
    2. Line item data would be the item details, the quantity of the item, the unit price of each item ...etc.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Kazmi

    Devi

    Net Due date  is the date on which the actual payment is due. it is picked up from payment terms.
    Discount due date is the date from which discount is calculated.
    Usually we allow discount if payment is before a stipulated period.

  • Document level Data and Item level data

    Hi,
    Can anyone please explain the difference between Document level data and Item level data for sales order.
    Thanks
    shalini

    Item is the lowest level detail of the order. For ex it would be a particular material. Document would be the overall "top" level. Usually refered to as header level. It relates to everything in the document.

    hi,
    like -> used for refering existing data elements in data dictionary or in sap
    type -> used for refering existing data types in sap.
    types: used for creating used defined structure of tables which has fields from more tahn one table.
    diff b/w types and type in creation of internal tables is that when u create a table with types then u can use same for work area creation also.
    ex:
    TYPES : BEGIN OF t_vbap,
    vbeln1 LIKE vbeln,
    posnr LIKE posnr,
    kwmeng LIKE kwmeng,
    netpr LIKE netpr,
    netwr LIKE netwr,
    werks LIKE werks,
    matnr LIKE matnr,
    arktx LIKE arktx,
    END OF t_vbap.
    data: itab1 type t_vbap
            wa_itab1 type t_vbap.
    when type is used then u have to create a defintion of work area for another time when internal table doesnt have headr line as
    ex:
    DATA : BEGIN OF t_vbap OCCURS 0,
    vbeln1 LIKE vbap-vbeln,
    posnr LIKE vbap-posnr,

  • Keyboard shortcuts: current day and date, and current time?

    I would like to know keyboard shortcuts for entering current day and date, and current time (separated entries) in Numbers. Something that Excel does easily. Thank you, Ian

    Ian,
    Numbers does not have predefined key command for Insert Date & Time as you can see from this screenshot:
    All menus show the key commands on the very right (if there is a ke command).  You can add you own, custom, key commands by opening system preferences and selecting the Keyboard panel, then the "Keyboard Shortcuts" segment:
    Click the "+" then a modal dialog will appear.   Select the application from the pop, then enter the exact name if the menu item, and, finally, your desired key combination:
    You can do this for any application

    Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

    you just have to remove the Photoshop cc from the add or remove program in the control panel
    and you can go to this link and copy all the plugins to the Photoshop cc 2014

    As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.

  • What exactly is using data and how can i keep it from using data when im not using my phone?

    So i have an iphone 4 and i have used a lot of data this month(like almost 2GB) and i have barely touched my phone outside of wifi areas. I always shut down any apps that use data like youtube, funnypics, facebook, etc. but i do play some games during my breaks at work but they dont require data to play so to my knowledge those games arent using data(or are they?) i just need some help figuring out exactly what on my phone is using data all the time so i can turn it off. Is it icloud? Emails on auto update? Offline game apps(minecraft, sonic dash, the Mr. Series games?) Do all apps use data regardless? Somebody please answer me. And No im not buying a bigger data plan. 2GB is my limit but it seems as though i am hitting that easily with my iphone but the rest of my familyis usually miles away from 2GB and they all have Samsung Galaxy S4s.

    My first stop would be in Settings > Cellular if you are on iOS 7.  This has a lot of goodstuff. you can turn off cellular data as a who, see your current usage and even see which apps have used data and how much.  You can even turn off individual apps form using cellular data (restricting them to wifi only).
    I hope this helps!

    Hi,
    create two variables in the top include..
    data :P_date type Sy-datum default sy-datum,
    p_time type sy-uzeit default sy-uzeit.
    Next go to screen and enter table syst...
    and select datum and uzeit and drag to screen..
    and rename the field to p_date for syst-date and p_time for syst-uzeit.

  • HT4859 I have unwillingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone. All her information got tranfered to my phone and over-rode all my contacts and data. How do I recover MY date that was backed up on iCloud yesterday?

    This morning I ave unknowingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone's data in iTunes. Now all HER information is on my is on my phone and all of my information has been overwritten. How do I recover my data and overwrite her data. My latest backup to iCloud was yesterday. I have not backed up my phone today and have turned off the auto back up feature, hoping I can still retreive yesterday's data. Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
    Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.
