I have just been sorting out the WiFi Sync on my iPad and noticed that I have 3.3GB of data space taken up by 'Other' in the bar along the bottom of iTunes. I was wondering if there is any way to find out what this data actually is, and how to clean it up?
Got a tip for us?

I've been checking this thread periodically in hopes someone would have the answer. Do you suppose it might be documents? Whatever it is, how could a person access it? Hope someone knows and shares the information.
I'm using everyone's iDevices for cloud storage, but don't worry I'm only using a couple of gigs from each iPad.
Actually, you could try powering your iPad off and then on. I think sometimes data is cached for whatever reason, and a power cycle will clean it up. I once had 3 or 4 GB's taken up by 'Other', and that worked for me. It's normally under a GB for me.
Check out this thread, also from MR ... seems to have the answer. Got it from the suggested links below this thread (scroll down past the last post)...

Cheers everyone for the replies, I will have to power down my iPad periodically then to clear it, think that will probably get rid of most of it which is the main thing!! I guess I'm always learning something new with Apple devices each and every day, and it can only be a good thing really!
