Hi AlexTheGrandSock, Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

We understand you are looking to reduce the storage space taken up by the 'Other' category on your iPhone.


What version of iOS is your iPhone updated to? There was an issue on a version of iOS 13 causing this category to report higher than normal. In general, it is also a good practice to be on the latest version of software. The link below will discuss this issue and will link to support with updating.


Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad


Generally speaking, the Other category is dependent on other apps that are installed on your iPhone. Deleting or offloading apps that you are no longer using may help to reduce this category.

Hope this helps! Take care for now.
