System storage and others taking space

The update to iOS 13.6.1 is supposed to clear excessive other on your phone. If you have 40GB of other, that’s way too much. The system files that are deleted when space is low, are unneeded system files.

You should try the uodate.

how much space is your system storage taking up? if 6-7 GB, this is perfectly normal and you will not get rid of that

for 'other' storage issues, you should update to 13.6.1

you're saying that 'other' storage is still high?

You can use the Contact Support link in the upper right of your screen so that Apple can troubleshoot 'Other' storage issues on your device.

OR you can what worked for most people before the 13.6.1 update:

Backup/Reset/Restore your device, review these links:

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Try a forced restart first. Quickly press and release the volume up button, then quickly press and release the volume down button. Then hold the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then let go of the button sand let the phone boot up. Check the other storage again.

If that doesn’t work, follow the instructions by Lawrence Finch in this discussion .

Storage

System looks normal.. but yes, Other is waaaayy to high. Follow my previous post and either Contact Support or backup/reset/restore

You’re welcome. I’m happy to hear that the forced restart works.
