    No app for it. Just go to

    Settings->General->usage->storage

    on the iphone and see what's using your space.

    So I guess I should be more specific, when I open up itunes I see in the storage bar a value of over 1GB for "Other" I would love to see what this entails and if I could clean it up. I know about the Settings->General->usage->storage but thats not clear as to heather this is size per app or size per app+app data.

    hope my question makes sense

    Thanks

    The other I think could refer to specific app data such as lets say VLC player where you can add files to VLC player within iTunes.

    yep I'm right..
    have a read of the below

    The "other" in iTunes is probably messages and emails

    this actually worked and allowed me to run a scan to cleanup some data, Actually cleaned up over 600 MB's of data bringing my free space back over a GB. I only have 16GB Iphone

    Thanks again sharkman

    There's an iphone app called CM Security that will clean all the app caches and things. You might have to run the clean a couple of times for it to clear most stuff. It does the job when you don't have access to icleaner.

    Sorry for dragging this back up. I just did a search on the iTunes store for CM security and I can't find it. Does anybody know if the app has been removed?

    It always looked a bit suspicious but it could be totally harmless. We're sort of around WWDC time when iOS dev accounts expire if you don't continue them, so maybe his account ran out and he didn't bother keeping it on the store.
