Hey there libbier,
If you've followed the resource and steps above, it sounds like you may need to create a backup of your device using iTunes or Finder, then erase all content and settings
If you continue to have issues after taking these steps, you'll want to Contact Apple Support
Have a good one!

Hi libbier,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand you are attempting to manage the storage on your iPhone.
Other refers to: "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."
"Go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage. You might see a list of recommendations for optimizing your device's storage, followed by a list of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses. Tap an app's name for more information about its storage. Cached data and temporary data might not be counted as usage.
In the detailed view you can:
If your device is almost full and can't free up space, you might get a Storage Almost Full alert. If you see this alert, you should check the storage recommendations or you need to offload some less-used content like videos and apps. "
You'll find more information to help you manage your device storage below.
Cheers!
Thank you for your response. The problem I’m having is that I’m following the recommendations yet the “other” section keeps growing and therefore no storage space is clearing up.
This worked! Thank you.
