Storage full

My iphone storage is full but I only have just over 1k photos and hardly any apps on the phone, when I look in the settings, it shows the space is taken up by 'other' in the gray area, it shows the apps and photos are taking only maybe 10% of the space. What can I do to fix this, what is OTHER???

iPhone SE, iOS 10

There is only one way unfortunately…

Backup and restore (I recommend the computer method if you have one)

(1)How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch – Apple Support

Unlock your SIM PIN if it has one

(2) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

(3) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup
