1). Backup to iCloud

2) Go to Settings / General / Erase Data [at the bottom]


This will remove all the data and you then need to resign into the iPad like it was new. It will then download what was saved to iCloud

Backed it up several times before and after removing the few apps I use. I don't use iCloud but may have to start. A I said 3 GB apps and data , 5 GB system and 8 GB OTHER... This happened a couple of releases previously and self corrected as soon as I installed 13.5.1 it happened again. Between this and the sync not working for Contacts and Calendars with outlook my iPhone is useless.. Had an iPhone since the 3 on day one but only the last few years have we had this many problems..

If you want to delete the cached files from your device

Your device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.”


this isn’t true, if it were we wouldn’t have a problem with our devices. This is a huge problem with our devices, makes it almost unusable. Might be time to switch to A Google device. Apple has let us down.

I've also tried EVERYTHING have been putting off factory restart. I already ordered a new phone but will be a few days before it gets here. And I'm nervous to factory restart before I get my new phone just in case I don't back up stuff to the cloud correctly. But my phone is literally unusable at this point d/t full storage and I no longer have anything I can delete. Did you back up everything?

Same problem here. Iphone 7, 32 GB of which at least 23 GB is ‘other.’ Any time I delete apps, pictures, or podcasts to make a little more space, the newly filled space is quickly consumed by ‘other.’ I have tried all methods suggested and nothing worked. Spent an evening reseting the phone and even that didn’t help (within a few days, ‘other’ had ballooned to consume nearly all the memory). Customer service is a complete waste of time. I’ve been a happy customer since literally the first iPod, but it might finally be time to jump ship.
