Other Storage

[colinkiama]

I have a bad feeling that other storage will still be here.

Why? What gave you that impression? They seem to be going out of their way to fix everything. Why be so pessimistic?

You know Microsoft....

I hope the other storage is taken care of in windows 8.1. After the black update, I still have about 700MB of my storage eaten up. Till now nothing has been leaked about it but you can never say, it might come to all of us as a surprise.

Um 700MB is nothing. That could be your email, some downloaded files and so on. Other storage is simply files that WP doesn't recognise or catergorize.

I have 12 gb of other space and even though I'm not downloading anything it grows and grows and its starting to **** me off, really putting me off windows phone . I'm now getting the low storage error even though I haven't been downloading anything, its obviously the other storage eating into it. :'(

We don't know yet until we have WP8.1 in the flesh. Hopefully it gets fixed but the other features are more important as we can have the option to install Apps in SD now... we'll at least if the developers allow it.

I have a bad feeling that other storage will still be here.

My Other is at 0. Yes, Zero! I updated to 8.1 this morning and just got around to looking at Storage Check. It's been running a few minutes and the various entries still say "updating", but there are values for all of them. And Other has gone from somewhere around 3gb or 4gb to 0gb (Temp files are at 878mb).

See that deleting temp files still doesn't work

EDIT - My bad, just took a while to update, it works
