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).
- Back up your iPhone to a computer as shown here ➔ Back up your iPhone to your computer.
- Erase your iPhone and restore to factory settings by opening Settings ➔ General ➔ Reset ➔ Erase all content and Settings
- Restore your iPhone from that back up file on your computer (Step 1) as shown here ➔ Restore your iPhone from a computer back up.
I know that this may turn into a time consuming event and other members of this forum may have other ideas however this is the method that has worked for me.
