How do I clear up “other” storage

I don’t know how to clear this up and even after deleting 40,000 pictures and videos I still don’t have enough space and most of it is being taken up by “other” so how am I supposed to clear it up?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

If you just removed that many pictures/videos.. did you also clear them from the Recently Deleted Album? I'm guessing you did because I don't see a Recommendation in your screenshot to empty this album, but thought I'd make sure.
