hello

My iPhone has become unusable due to full storage taken up mostly by “other” which is taking over 3/4 of total storage.

I have cleared all the obvious storage but not helped at all.

Is there an app that clears this “other” even if it costs. So I can get my phone back.

There is no option of plugging it into a mac with iTunes.

I am not doing a factory reset, unless it is my very last option, as I believe there is 3rd party options, just unsure which. I am hoping of an app I can download to clear this.

Try magic Cleaner.....

This is a free apps but asks for donation to stop adverts.

You will have to clean junk more than once.

I have been using it for quite sometime and so far have had no issues with it and it gives me back huge amounts of space.

I have used these apps, they say they can only clear 10-100mb of space.

I have done some “digging around” and found this “other” is actually “system”
