Hello vinceribaudo,


We understand you have a question about Other storage, and we'd be happy to share a resource that can help you! Get started here: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Specifically, you'll find that Other is comprised of non-removable mobile assets, like Siri voices, fonts, dictionaries, non-removable logs and caches, Spotlight index, and system data, such as Keychain and CloudKit Database. Cached files can't be deleted by the system.


Take care!
