Messages “Other” docs using gb but blank

In iOS Messages I see the majority of space (in iPhone Storage) that this app is taking up is from “Other” documents. If I view the Other category it is blank, showing no files for me to remove.


This looks like a problematic bug.



iPhone 11, iOS 17

Clearing Other:

This is nothing of a bug. "Other" is a boatload of system files like caches. So, learn how to clean them at my User Tip: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip
