iPhone storage and app deletion

So here is the situation. My iPhone storage is almost full. Biggest category is 'other'. On the Internet I have found out that this category is basically apps. Many apps are not displayed on my home screen or app library, but are displayed in iPhone storage (in Setting). Unfortunately when tapping an app in iPhone storage and waiting for a long time, NO option appears before me. It just says app size and documents and data without any option to delete it. How do I delete those apps? I really need it, since the 'other' category takes up ~180 GB out 256GB, which I believe is an issue.


If it helps I have and iPhone 11 Pro (256 GB) and iOS 14.4.


Really hope to get some help.

You can only delete things that are on the device.

Other is usually cache files:

Settings / Safari / Clear History and Website Data.
