I always thought I knew a fair amount about iPhones/ iTunesiTunes etc but this has me stumped!!

I have a 16gb16 GB iPhone 5 running the latest version of iTunes on a Windows Laptop. I do not have iTunes Match.

Due to having 100gb of music on the laptop I have already 'checked' the following options in the iPhone 'summary'

  • Sync only ticked songs and videos
  • Manually manage music and videos

I then went into 'music' and unchecked all the artists, albums etc to the point it said 0 songs (in light grey next to where it says sync music)

So looking at that it should mean I have no songs selected, so none on my phone... BUT NO!but no!

It is still telling me I have 5gb of audio! I have gone back and forth applyingapplying​/ syncingsyncing​/ checkingchecking​/ uncheckingunchecking in the hope I have overlooked something but I am now totally stuck on what to try next.

All I want to do is remove all songs from the phone and then put some fresh music back on.

Going mad, please help!!
