iPhone Iphone 5 with 11.4gb of "other data"...need gone

[Cvzjoka]

So my iPhone 5 is only 16gb and 11.4 of the 16 is being occupied by other data. I need to keep my messages and thats it. Is there a way I can back up only my messages and delete everything else.
i have tried backing up using pkgbackup but its filled with bugs and keeps crashing.

Probably dumb question but, do you have music and movies in there?

no i have a seperate ipod for movies and music
i recently restored my iphone ios6.1 and restored from back up in order to keep my messages and the 11.4gb of other came with the backup...

Its either space or the messages. Sorry. Unless you are good at SSH tunneling, there isn't much option.

install openssh, find the SMS folder (with sms.db) and you can transfer your messages over. or use iphone backup extractor and get it from an itunes backup

Messages/mms/imessage/ can take up a lot as well! And i dont see why you need to have a history at the messages from last year or two?!

ive tried icleaner it only removed a lil bit of data... and the messages only go back a couple of months and i need them for security reasons

i need them for security reasons

i strongly suggest finding an independent way to archive them then.
