What is “other” on iPad storage?

What is “other” on iPad storage? I’m trying to “reduce” stored stuff, emails, took photos out of iCloud to put on Google photos, (but still on iPad!). Evernote, Notes but storage keeps growing!!! What else can I do?

iPad Air 2, iOS 13

“Other” storage is your iPadOS system files, preferences, and caches.

That includes things like:

Your iPad's settings & personalized features/preferences (like accessibility settings)
Fonts and dictionaries
Spotlight index
Siri voices
VoiceOver data
Keychain and CloudKit Database informations
Cache files and non-removable logs

Hello,

Other is populated by iPad's system software and other system components.
