files accordingly that are space hogging.

other than iTunes file categories. This includes things like cache from
Safari, Mail apps, attachments, e-mails, backup files, reading list, backup
files, and files from jail-breaking devices. This is different from the
primary data that is why you are not allowed to remove it using iTunes.
