Storage space
My iPhone 11âs storage is full, but the issue is that the âotherâ category is taking up over 50% of the space. Whatâs in the other category and is there a way to get rid of it?

The only way I have found to clear excessive "other" storage consumption is to factory reset the device. I was told by an Apple Senior Advisor that "other" will automatically clear out when the space is needed. Although this has never been the case on my phone.
I have posted about this multiple times and even spent two months on the phone with Apple regarding this. Brand new iPhone 11 in November that has this issue. Noticed "other" chewing up my storage since iOS 14 released on my 8. Still haven't found any "tricks" that have been posted on these forums that actually have worked for me other than the nuclear option. Which to me is a hassle. There really should be a way to manually delete this garbage collector on the users end.
