Storage space changes frequently after upgrade

[lefuxy]

ok so before upgrading, the "other" content was 13.6mb originally when i first plugged it into my computer, now, after upgrading to 1.1.3, it is 100.1mb.

right before it was 100.1, it was 51.9, then i deleted a movie which was 777mb and the "other" 's size jumped to 100.1.

what the hell is going on?

how do i change this, cuz this is ridiculous for an 8gb touch.

It sounds like there is some ghost data on your iPod touch. Restore your iPod touch to get rid of it and the initial amount of other data it what is should be. I think it should be around 100MB, that is what it is on my iPod touch right after I restore it. The actual number was 102.7MB right after restoring it with the 1.1.3 firmware. Also keep in mind that other data can include album artwork that isn't embedded in the files. Album artwork takes up about 1MB per album/movie so you have to think about that.

100MB shouldn't matter too much even on a 8GB iPod touch. That represents about 1-2 albums depending on if you use 128kbps VBR AAC/mp3 or if you use 192kbps VBR AAC/-V 2 Lame mp3.
