Cleaning up the Phone Storage on Lumia 720

[Jugal Jagtap]

I own a Lumia 720.(WP 8.0,waiting for Cyan update)
My Phone Storage Check Overview is like this.

Apps: 2.6 GB
Media & Files: 2.5 GB (in details Music: 0KB; Email+Contacts: 200MB; Other: 1.7GB)
System: 1.9 GB
Gives me only 200 MB free space.
I read somewhere that 1.5~2 GB free space is required to update to Lumia Cyan.
How to make that space ?
I don't know how to manage those Other (1.7 GB) files.
Otherwise I'll have to uninstall all the Apps.

Do you have apps that download files? Metrotube for example, it stores preloaded videos on the phone. I actually haven't seen any app that can actually store downloaded files in sd card. You have 2.5 gb of media and files I think those are downloaded. Also if you have apps that lock photos or other media files, what these apps do is copy your files first to the phone memory due to some windows phone restrictions. Hope this helps.

But out of 2.5 GB of 'Media & Files', 1.7 GB files are categorized as 'Other' in Details.
Also 'Music' and 'Videos' consume 0 KB of Phone Memory.
I really need to know what those 'Other' files are :/

Like I said it could be downloaded files like maps etc. Whether these are images, music and videos that you downloaded as long as its not in your music and videos folder of your phone memory, it will be included in media and files not in music and videos.
