Troubleshooting Slow iPhone WiFi:

Try Removing Data from the iPhone itself...

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

"Weird thing, i've just restarting my phone, and it is now slowly shrinking, looks like it stopped around 16.3GB. Any ways to clear it without restoring from a backup?"

Cleaning Other:

No. This is all caches. So, restoring your iPhone from a backup is the only way to perform this. All is fine. This is just junk and it has no role on your iPhone.

NerunSmarts Said:

"Alright, I'll do that when I get around to it, just wish iTunes would let you store backups somewhere other than in your Documents folder on Windows."

Adding Genres to iTunes Library:

As of the date of your post, Documents is where it is stored. So, recommend to Apple that they make it be somewhere else.

So, Recommend this to Apple:

1. Go Here: Feedback - iTunes - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" fro the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that you want Document to no be the location to store items and why. Include the URL of this thread.
4. Proceed from there as necessary
