You can’t get rid of Other entirely, but you can sometimes reduce its size. Your iPhone is supposed to manage these caches to keep your storage from becoming completely full, but it doesn’t always do a great job.
And if you send tons of texts with images or video, the caches for that can start to fill up a lot of space. Safari’s caches can start to grow pretty large, too. As per Apple, the ‘Other’ data is occupied by the following files. You should also see the space occupied by ‘Other’ data here. Here you will get a breakdown of the storage space used on your iPhone by various installed apps, the OS itself, and more. But streams have caches used to ensure smooth playback, and those are categorized as Other. On your iPhone or iPad, navigate to Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage.

When you download video or music from the iTunes store, TV app, or Music app, it’s indexed as Media. One of the biggest culprits for Other growing out of hand is streaming lots of music and video. It’s comprised of system caches, logs, Siri voices (if you’ve downloaded other voices), updates, and so much more. The Other category is big and varied, because it’s a real catch-all category. Tap on “System Data” to see how much “Other System Data” is taking up. You can scroll all the way down to the bottom of the app list where you will see “iOS” and “System Data” listed. It’s common for Other to be in the 5-20GB range, but if it’s way over 20GB, it has probably grown out of control. Your iPhone Storage menu will divide that bar up top into familiar categories like Apps, Media, Photos, and Mail, but also an Other category that is sometimes very large.
