Hi! After erasing all content and settings on my iPhone 6s, storage became full with 120 GB filled with "other" out of 128 total space (before erasing there was a lot of free space - over 60 GB) How to clean iPhone storage, because phone is clean but it's impossible to download any app? (all ways recommended in support don't work)
iPhone 6s
Update to iOS 14.0.1
Probably you missed iOS 13.6.1 which did --> Address an issue where unneeded system data files might not be automatically deleted when available storage is low
About cached files in "Other"
Finder and iTunes categorize cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos. Cached files are created when you stream or view content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your device so you can quickly access it again.
Your device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on your device differs from what you see in Finder or iTunes
Since Finder and iTunes categorize cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your device, go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your device
Your device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.
In short --> IGNORE, if you are not convinced, Restart the device. You will see that Others Storage will reduce but total storage will remain more or less the same.

You may watch the same GIF in the form of Video on YouTube --> Others Storage consuming lot of space on an iPhone
