iOS 8 'Other' space

[Matt..]

Ever since i went to iOS 8 on my iPad 3 16gb i've had space issues. It seems as though it keeps eating up free space until it runs out. Out of the 16gb space, 6.5gb is deemed 'Other' when you connect to iTunes. I have 3gb photos, 3gb apps, and 300mb data. So that 'Other' space is effectively the biggest space hog. I can't restore without deleting stuff as there's not even enough space to do anything.

Does anyone else have this problem?

You cannot delete it as standard. It's space used by something, yet Apple don't really define what, or give you a way to tidy it up. So my iPad was being filled by this and made unusable.

Connect yours to iTunes and see how much 'other' takes up.
