Why is Pinterest taking up 24gb of space on my IPad?

I'm sure it's all of my boards but if I delete the app I delete my boards right?

What is "Other"
It’s generally a combination of local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games, app-specific documents and data, notes, and voice memos.
You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

I do not have many messages but my iphone 5s says messages take up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with friends who have many more message, less than 1 GB is being used on their phones. Why are mine taking up so much space and how do I correct that?

I do not have that many messages on my new iPhone 5s (maybe about 15 conversations and only one or two going back a little ways) yet when I go to Settings, Usage it shows that my messages are taking up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with others (some who have hundeds of messages) they are using under 1GB for their messages. Why are mine taking up so much space??

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

Why is it taking up 87gb of space?

I had to reinstall firefox because it was having issues, so i uninstalled it and used chrome to download it again. When i downloaded it and started to install it, i noticed it was taking a long time and was taking up a lot of space.
It took a total of 87gb of space. I dont know why. I tried uninstalling it, and it was working fine up untill it froze. I couldn't stop the uninstallation so i just logged off and logged back on. Now i can't uninstall it at all.
It has to be some sort of file glitch, or something of the sort. It can't be a virus, when was the last time you saw a 87gb virus? I downloaded it straight from mozilla.com. There's just no way.
Any help with this?

What is the "other" category and why is it taking up so much space?

The "other" category on my iPod is taking up a considerable amount of space. I don't have very many apps, pictures, or videos because I want to preserve room for more music, but I can't seem to find a way to reduce the amount of memory that "other" takes up. Please help! Also, I would update to a newer system, but I don't have enough room.

Everything else plus the operating system.

Why is photoshop taking up so disc space over time when using?

Hi. I was just doing some basic stuff like masking and what not. and suddenly my system tells me i've used up all of my main drive's space (I had about 10GB free). I am curious as to what is taking up this space and how to I clear it. And also can i shift it to my other drive which has 700GB free.

You mean you have a miserly 10 GB of available drive space on your boot drive? ?? !
If that's what you're saying you are indeed in a heap of trouble! Those 10 GB will have to be shared by both the swap files of the OS and Photoshop scratch files. That is insane. Whenever any hard drive gets to be over 80% full, you are already in trouble.
The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space for Photoshop alone says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the Photoshop scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed and I'll be increasing it to 32 GB by the end of this year.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

Why is Preview taking up so much space on my hard drive when saving changes to a PDF file?

I am working with a large PDF file (3.3GB) in Preview and am highlighting and adding notes to the contents. Every so often, Preview auto-saves the document, but while it's doing that it takes up a HUGE amount of space on my harddrive! Last time it tried, I went from having 4GB of space to 800MB and recieved a message saying I was almost out of disk space so I force closed the file. I am also pretty sure that I had closer to 15GB of space before I started using this file and since then it has dropped to only 3.3GB. Is there some sort of Preview cache? If so, how do I delete it?
I've tried searching my harddrive for large files and didn't find anything larger than 1GB that I didn't recognize.

Why is Lightroom taking up local disk space while publishing?

I have a relatively large photo catalog (200k photos +) that I am in the process of paring down with the help of Lightroom 5. Along the way I have kept certain groups of photos published to Flickr using Smart Photosets so that if I eliminate a duplicate photo from the catalog I will be able to "re-publish" and eliminate that duplicate from the published collection.
My Catalog Files, My Backups, and the actual image files that are referenced in the catalog are all located on an external drive. I did this so that I could have everything on one drive for the time being while I eliminate a ton of photos from the catalog.
The issue that I am running into is that while a collection is being published to Flickr I get a message popping up telling me that I am low on disk space on my local (C) drive and that I need to free up some space. This is odd because everything is located on the external drive (catalog and image files) and I am publishing to Flickr.
I am just trying to figure out if there is a default somewhere that is causing Lightroom to create new thumbnails or previews somewhere on my C drive while I am publishing images to Flickr or something like that. Any idea what sort of data might be accumulating in the process here? And is there anyway to move it all or eliminate it for the time being while I am finishing the elimination of duplicate files from my catalog?
Thanks!

If this is a temp file issue I would love to know where I can find these and get rid of them or perhaps a setting that I could change so that they are dumped more frequently automatically.
Temp files created by Lightroom are cleaned up by Lightroom, or should be anyway.
Is your C: drive short of space? If so, that should definitely be remedied pronto.
If not, then you got some other issue...

Why is Messaging taking up so much space?

Messages is showing up under Usage as over 70 MB with almost all of it being saved messages. Is there a way to clear "cached" messages?

Try reindexing Macintosh HD first.

Photos taking up too much space iOS 8 iPad & iphone

In iTunes and on my devices under usage, I noticed my photos are taking up 3.3 GB, much more than before I updated my OS to 8. I have about 350 photos, about 300 are a file from my computer which the computer says is 821MB, and the rest are pictures recently taken with my phone. I've deleted files from my deleted photos folder, reset my device with the home and power buttons, then I tried deleting and reloading everything from a backup. I also tried importing all of my photos from my phone to my iPad, then selecting the option to delete them from my phone. The numbers improved from 5+ GB to the 3.3 noted above, but I figure they should be using about 900MB, not 3.3GB.
I appreciate any help you might be able to offer,
Tracy

HT4972 Why is it taking 22+ hours to back up my iPad?

I am trying to update my iPad and it is backing it up first....this process estimates 22 hours. I left it there for the 22 hours and it was not even half of the way done. There is not much info on the iPad as it belongs to my 5 year old son....any suggestions? Thanks!!

It shouldn't take this long. Close your iTunes and remove the device.
Try this,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
After restarting, you may get a prompt to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and Sync and see if it is working now.

Creating more space on my iPad - storage issues.

my iPad is a 16 GB device and shows I have 750 MB left but I have only used 12.5 GB. Why? I keep deleting things and it barely creates more space.

Hello Davisesq
Check to see what is taking up so much space on your iPad by going to Settings > General > Usage or plug it into to your computer and look on iTunes to see that capacity.

Why is my iMovie taking up so much space and how can I get my data back?

For some reason, unknown to me, my imovie app is taking up 6.5GB of my data. I have three, small (less than five minute) videos and I am wondering how to get rid of whatever is taking up so much space and what could possibly be filling up my ipad. It is strange because a four hour movie takes up only 3GB and fifteen minutes of video takes up over 6. Something is definitely not right. I just want to know how to get rid of whatever is taking up so much data while keeping my files in tact.

Had the same problem and read a few posts. Easiest fix is delete and reinstall imovie. Clears out all the data that imovie takes up by recreating temp files which you can't seem to delete when you upload videos to YouTube
