How do I eliminate my Iphone "other" storage ? It has 9.61 GB and the storage in my iphone system has 5.23 GB. This is a 16GB phone. I have deleted almost all apps and all my photos. I still do not have enough storage to update or even take another photo on my Iphone. Please help.
iPhone SE, iOS 13
iOS 13.6.1 is supposed to help with the 'other' storage issue. So the best thing to do would be figure out how to get that update installed..
Alternatively..
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 could do the following:
Backup/Reset/Restore your device, review these links:
