    my lumia 1520 is one year old. Before 6 months, system only was using 5-6 gb, but before 3 months it covered about 8 gb. I thought the update should fix this issue, but after upgrading to WP 8.1 update 2, it peaked @ 9.11 gb. please help me to reduce that.
    I don't want to reset my phone. Thankyou.

    You could use Storage Sense to delete some temporary files and delete IE history.
    Furthermore delete a few apps you do not use.

    Are you using any programs that use special files that WP doesn't recognize? I think MS changed the way files are recognized these days.

    Is there some reason why you won't reset? Playing a game with no backup or something?

    I've added no unrecognizable file but storage sense shows 10.1 gb is covered by 'other'.

    By deleting IE history and temporary files, it can only free ~50 mb.

    You do realise that there are a lot of file types that WP does not recognize right?
