Just so you know going into this, you will not be able to reduce it to zero, Other contains many essential files to your OS, apps and some websites you use, ease of system use is a good thing, and I'm not sure what his last sentence means. And if working properly it should not grow caches over time.
Which exact version of iOS 14 are you running?
How much Other do you have.
First thing I would try is a forced restart of your iPhone and then a restore from backup if that doesn't work.
