It appears that most of your data is stuck in the other category. I only know of one way to clean up the storage and minimize the "other" category and here is how- (This involves erasing your iPhone and restoring it to factory settings and then restoring from a back up file).
Other members of this forum may have other ideas however this is the method that has worked for me.

I get your frustration but Note that you will be not only be resetting your iPhone but also restoring it from back up that you will have created in the process. In other words, after all the steps have been followed then you will end up with the same data on your iPhone minus the bloated "Other" category.

You will be best following Axel Foley's methods as that is the best possible solution.
If you really don't want to go down that route OR you don't have the time right now to restore your phone, you could try Changing Messages Settings so your messages delete sooner, by default it is set to keeping forever. Deleting your browsing data and closing down tabs on Safari also helps. If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.
Thank you! That was the information I got form YouTube, I was hoping not to reset my phone. I hate apple, this is ridiculous. 30GB... wow
Thank you! I did the message and all possible ways to lessen it, didn't work.
I don't have a MAC but I'm backing up through the clouds now....
