Apple Watch storage
My Watch has 8GB of space, and it looks like 4GB are being taken up by ‘Other’ storage. Any idea what this might be and how to clear at least some of it?

Hey there ClearlyDense,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. The 'Other' storage category on your Apple Watch would pertain to any information and data that does not fit into the other listed categories, such as cached files, or system data. Your Apple Watch should automatically remove cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
For more details check out this link here under "About cached files in "Other": How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
While the resource does state this is for checking storage for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices, the information here about "Other" data would apply to the Apple Watch as well.
We hope that's able to help.
Take care!
