Your "Other" is corrupted which is rather common. Do a full restore to fix:
Please follow the instructions in the article below. The process is rather straight forward as iTunes will guide you along the way. You will have to disable Find my iPhone/iPad first. Don't forget to set it back to On when you are through and also set Send Last Location to ON.
Connect your device to your computer. Then import all your photos from the device to the computer and copy all important documents directly to your computer as well. Then do a full backup to iTunes, just follow the instructions below. Then select Restore iPhone/iPad and iTunes will install a fresh copy of the current iOS and will erase all your data and settings. After iTunes has installed a fresh copy of the iOS, it will ask you if you want to set your device as New or restore from Backup. Choose From Backup. Restoring from backup will bring back all your Settings, Apps, Photos on Camera Roll, etc. You should not lose anything. I have done this procedure many times in the past and restored from backup with no difficulties - it takes 30-50 minutes. Your Other will then reset to about 500 MBs instead and grow to possibly 1 GB, the normal amounts.

Sep 30, 2015 5:46 AMby elcpu,It should work. I have restored my iPhone and iPad as per above several times with no issues. I have only lost one free app which I then re-downloaded. My suggestion is to take it slow and easy and you should not have any problems. The 30-50 minutes is not actual work, it is just the time it takes for iTunes to complete the process but you will have to be present to answer a the prompts.
