hard resets bricks phones I've heardI mean, have you hard reset since GDR3? Like I said, it could be leftover junk from previous versions, and one more hard reset with gdr3 could do the trick.

hard resets bricks phones I've heard
My mom's Lumia 920 has 25gb of Other Storage and it is running GDR2. What fills up the Other Storage for me is if you watch YouTube videos through an app like MetroTube and Microsoft's YouTube app(back when it was working). If you use IE it doesn't fill up Other Storage. Also using Nokia music fills it up. My mom only uses her phone for web browsing and email. I used it for YouTube and Nokia music(its faster than my Lumia 900) and the Other Storage started filling up. Even with YouTube videos that are downloaded, when playing them back it would still fill up the Other Storage.
This should be the top priority for the WP team to fix. This Other Storage problem is making phones unusable. With how slow they are fixing things and adding features it seems like the WP team consists of the kids in school that sit in the back of the classroom and eat paste.
Try this if you already have not:
1. Delete IE history
2. Delete WPCentral App history (if you have it installed)
3. Manually change date year on phone to 2014, go to phone storage under settings and then delete temporary files, it will take a minute or 2 to do that. Now check your other storage size again. Make sure to revert the date back to current.
THIS! I thought i'd try this and my temporary files (GDR3) went from 1.4GB down to 75mb.
Now if only I could shrink my System folder down from 5.5GB....
Omg I can't believe I'm still dealing with this bs. Still no real fix for this? Really? What on earth is going on! There should be no need for ANYONE to have 10whole GB of other storage. I only have maybe 5gb worth of apps and games. If the OS requires this much other storage then ok maybe this is not for me but that suck because a side of me eventually losing all of my memory mostly due to other I love my phone but if this is Ms way of say " time for a new phone" then this is not for me!
I think its my metro radio when on the mp3 player section I search a song .play it then close it out. It seems to save that data In other.....wierdIt has to be some app thats cousing this problem to some of you, investigate. Like I said earlier, I have had Ativ S now about 8 months without ever having to manage the other storage, or of course hard reset. Ive had GDR1,GDR2, GDR3 developer preview, GDR3 final and yesterday updated to another version of developer preview. Biggest other I think was about 2 gig at some point, but out of the internal 16gb I had probably 8gb free at that time. Now my system is 2,8gb and temp 671mb.
