Thank you for the screenshot.

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

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

So, what to do...

• How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. It is essentially the same for an iPhone. You'd backup your iPhone, and then restore your iPhone from the backup you've just created. All System Data will delete.

"Not enough storage to make more storage?: I know my storage won't magically increase, but why doesn't the pictures offload, to make more room for other stuff when I don't have space?"

Why these Don't Offload:

Because these are Internally-Stored. You need to extract these photos from your iPhone to another storage location --preferably to a Mac or a PC. Once transferred, verify you can access these photos. Once verified, trash them from your iPhone. All that space will be gone.
