I recently read on c|net about a program to reclaim unused space on iOS devices. Apparently it works by "removing long-term caches, cookies, and temporary and junk files generated by many apps or the result of failed iTunes syncs" -- no data, Apps, photos or music is removed. Here's the link:

So I ran it on my iPad and it found 2.3 Gb of space to reclaim, including something like 12000 files for 650 Mb of space associated with Kingdom Age. So I hit the clean button and sure enough I got the 2.3 Gb back on my iPad an no ill-effects on any of the apps installed. In fact I think some of them seem to run a little quicker but that could be my imagination. So I wonder what all the additional junk is that KA installs in the iPad?
By the way, in case you're wondering, I have no association whatsoever with the (free) PhoneClean program. I just have an iPad that's full and was looking to recover some space.
