“Other” is all storage not otherwise included in the colored categories. It may, for example, include misc. files no longer in use, caches, previously streamed videos and music, etc. The easiest way of clearing Other is to Restart your device.

You should also review and clear unused apps and data via: Settings > General > iPhone Storage and read the article linked below.
