What phone is it?

If it's a Windows Phone 7, open up the Zune software and click on Phone.

At the bottom of the window is a breakdown of disk space being used on your phone. Most likely it's being used up by a category called "Reserved space and other content". This is space that's reserved on your phone for when you download e-mails, calendar appointments, apps and app-info. This space in Zune and on your phone is marked as being "used" to keep it reserved, even though it might not be used at the moment.

You can adjust the amount of space that's reserved. Click on the View Sync Options button underneath the picture of your phone. Click on Reserved Space in the menu that appears to the left, and adjust the slider as you wish.

I think the default is around 5% and I'd be reluctant to bring it lower than that.

Hope that answers your questions.
