This reduced my Other from 4GB to 3.67GB - better than nothing I suppose, and it's free!

Might try it again sometime.

Yep, no store app will be able to reclaim space used by other apps, since each app's storage space is protected from access by any other app. This app must be clearing the global temp space (roughly equivalent to dumping your browser cache) and nothing more. "Other" is just all storage space used by installed apps.

It uses the same idea as the "open a Long YouTube movie until your Memory is full"-trick mentioned abovbe. Sometimes it works, sometimes it has no effect, so give it a try and leave Feedback here or in the App Rating.

Recovered more than 2 GB. Better than nothing. Thanks for the tip.
