This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.

Look at the numbers on the Free Space line and subtract the number on the left from the number on the right to calculate the space used. For example, on the device shown here, 22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that 4.9MB of space is occupied on this device.
