60% of my iphone storage is "other"

Hi there,

As you can see around 60% of my iphone storage is "other". I believe I have tried everything, but still it takes up a horrible amount of storage. Any recommendation would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Other: Non-removable mobile assets, like Siri voices, fonts, dictionaries, non-removable logs and caches, Spotlight index, and system data, such as Keychain and CloudKit Database. Cached files can't be deleted by the system.


A high amount of other could mean data corruption...think about restoring your device before things get worse...
