why is my ‘other’ category so large?

the ‘other’ category is so large and i’ve tried to do things like clearing history and website data but that didn’t work & putting my messages to “keep messages up to 30 days”

and didn’t work either, the “other” category is up to about 51 GB. I’ve also offloaded apps!

iPhone XR, iOS 13

The only way to clear genuine junk is to use a computer to backup and restore it.
