How can I manage/reduce space used by Apple "Other"

50 GB of 64 GB of space on my iPhone 8 is taken up by Apple Inc Other System Data.

How can I reduce this "Other" data since it is taking up so much space I can't update apps or the iOS?

Hi,

I would recommend placing your iPhone in Recovery Mode and reinstalling iOS to resolve this issue. Other System Data should never be that high, and rarely exceeds 13GB of device storage. Make sure you complete a backup prior to reinstalling iOS.

To complete the reinstall, use the steps outlined in If you forgot your iPhone passcode.
After iOS has been reinstalled and you are ready to set up the device again, use the steps outlined in Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup.

Best of luck!
