My Apple Watch is repeatedly alerting me that the storage is full, that I should delete music and photos. I do not have any music or photos. The storage is almost full and more than half is listed as Other. How do I clear that up?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

Restart your watch
Restart your Apple Watch, then try updating it again.
If you still see the error, follow the steps in the next section.
Remove media and apps
Try to free up storage on your Apple Watch, then try to install the watchOS update.
If you can't update after deleting media and apps, follow the steps in the next section.
Unpair and update your Apple Watch
Next, set up your Apple Watch with your iPhone. When asked whether you want to set up as new or restore from a backup, choose to set up as new. Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish setup.
If you want to update to the watchOS beta, reinstall the beta profile after setup is complete.
Finally, update your Apple Watch.
Restore from backup
If you want to restore your Apple Watch from its latest backup, follow the steps in the previous section to unpair it again. Then set up your watch once more with your iPhone. This time, choose to restore from backup rather than set up as new."
