So the cache for the iPod – which I am not using – takes up an extra 31% of storage?
Some mistake…
Yup. There is a lot of cruft in OS in general. I find Disk Inventory X a nice tool to visualise what is wasting the space:
Also if space is tight, try these:

Not sure why you’re seeing such a huge number. In my case the originals occupy 19G, and the iPod Cache (which I *DO* use, assuming that it’s also used for the iPhone) is just 171M, or 0.8%.
I’ve nuked it. Shall see if it reoccurs…
