Settings App Size

[gbbg]

Anyone else saw this on their 1020 WP 8.1?

http://1drv.ms/YbD5oS My Settings App size is 5.7GB! Doesn't show the same on Storage Sense but shows up this way on Storage Check.

Bug perhaps?

Nokia Storage Check hasn't been updated in over a year now and is no longer current - notice how it doesn't even list all of the apps on your phone?

I'd just uninstall the app and use Storage Sense instead, it's a great deal more accurate.

I have actually noticed that too. my settings app size is around 6 gigs of space. I wonder if its all the old stuff that was on my phone before the update cause all my music disappeared.

Mine says that Settings is taking up 8.7GB. I know it's a long list of options, buuuuuuttttt....
Double-checked in Storage Sense, and it's a lot more reasonable of a breakdown. I love their snarky little message when you dig into the system section - "These files make your phone work. You don't want to delete them. Trust us."

Sounds reasonable. Will do.
