I notice that when syncing, a new section called Documents and Data is displayed. I am not sure if this used to be included in "Other" and is now broken out, or what. Can anyone tell me what this represents? Mine is taking up 9GB. I thought it was representing documents and data being used by apps, but even after deleting a couple of apps that had been showing large amounts of documents and data in the usage section of settings, the 9GB has remained the same. Thanks.

Yup same thing...

42mb on mine

Maybe bookmarks, etc....

[finn5975]

John yours is 42mb?? I gotta figure out how mine is 9GB. That is a huge chunk gone from my availability.

[John Yester]

Yes when I hover over that in iTunes. It says 42mb

[finn5975]

Good grief. I'm at a loss. 9GB here.

[John Yester]

Just FYI Mine iOS 7 update was restored with a iOS 6 back up.... So not sure what yours can be...

You use iWork?

[finn5975]

No, I do not use iWork. At first from reading online I thought that it was a glitch where apps and their corresponding documents and data were being double counted. But deleting all of my apps had zero bearing on the 9 GB.
I cannot imagine it would be any jailbreak residue since I restored to IOS 7. This sucks. I'm at a dead end.

[John Yester]

Well you COULD try a clean install. Wipe it clean and then install what ya need and see what happens..

If not the result you wanted. Then just do a restore...

Extremely odd though....


Let me know how it goes, and have a great weekend!

Ummmmm, yeah I'm at 27G and even after seeing that my messaging app was using 26G i went and deleted all text/iMessages that were more than one year old and still nothing. With a 32G phone I've over time had to delete all music and pictures from my phone. Perplexed. Help?

[Craig]

My "Other" is only at 1.48GB. So good here.. but I see the breakout too with Docs and Data about 1GB.

[kaydenshriver]

I'm having the same problem. 9GB gone to "documents and data"

[Jessica Pankonien]

mine shows 11.5GB....What the heck?!

[acerace113]

Mine says 47.8 MB...

5.82 GB Documents and Data after ios7 update. I have deleted nearly every message. I do not have Pages or Numbers on my phone. What else could be in there?

I guess that I am just dense... but I don’t see Documents and Data... where exactly are you looking?

At that time, it was the yellow portion of the color coded graph/chart? that breaks down what's on your device when you are connected to iTunes. Until iOS 7 it had always been 'other'. I'll see if I can snag a pic.

[finn5975]

Here is a pic off of the Internet. When I was running iOS 7, 'other' became 'documents & data'.

Ok. well it isn't labeled... must have been what confused me. Thanks.

I just got the 5S this morning and my Documents & Data section has 2.89GB...any updates on how this stuff is able to be removed? I need to put music back on my (now, sadly, smaller) phone

[Jim Vasconcellos]

Try deleting your text message history. Looks like this section is storing messages and images that I have sent back and forth - 6gb worth.

[ThePinkChameleon]

I also noticed the "docs & data" colored bar right away last night after updating to iOS7 when I did a back-up. My docs & data shows 127mb and my other is showing about 1.49(i think it was?).
