This feature will not be present on all apps. Some apps such as Dropbox, Google Maps, and Twitter allow you to clear the cache, but the button is quite hidden. Then just look for the option to delete media or web storage. For most applications, just log in, and all your data will be available again.
If not, be sure to make a backup before deleting an app. Then tap on the voice you want to delete and, if it has an Edit button on the top right corner, tap on it. Finally, tap the minus button on the left side. Clearing Other storage on your iPhone can be a real space saver when your iPhone storage is full and you need to clear up space for an iOS update or to install a new app.
In iOS 15, the name has changed to System Data, but it appears to be similar, if not the exact same thing. While some storage categories are easy to understand and control, the Other category is the hardest to maintain.
This is because Other Storage includes all kinds of things, such as system files, attachments, website logins, autofill URLs, pre-loaded websites for faster browsing, and—a major culprit—cached chunks of streaming media from apps like Podcasts and Netflix.
From what we can tell, it seems to be similar, if not identical to Other Storage, though my personal theory is it includes a bit less, as the percentage of my total storage it took up went from small to nonexistent in the update.
This could also be because of cleared caches or other things that stemmed from the update. When you browse the web on your iPhone, you create cached data that's saved in Other Storage. This data is used for autofilled names and passwords as well as URLs. Most of your favorite websites are already pre-loaded in the cached data.
This makes browsing the web faster, but over time the accumulated data in Other Storage slows down your iPhone. This can take a little while. Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes. You may be prompted to allow access on your iPhone and required to enter your passcode, which you should do. Select your iPhone by clicking the little phone icon in the upper left, and under Backups, choose This Computer.
Checking Encrypt local backup is a good idea, so your account passwords and Health data gets backed up, too. Click the button to Back up now. If your other files are taking up a lot of space, you can reclaim some of that to make your iPhone run more smoothly, to install updates, or make better use of your iPhone's storage.

After a few moments, you'll see a graph at the top of the screen that illustrates how much room you have left on your phone. The other storage category contains miscellaneous files that aren't included in the main categories like photos and videos, apps, and email.
Some of the most important other files include:. The lowest hanging fruit in your other storage is usually Safari's browser cache. It's easy to clean and can grow to well over a gigabyte if you don't empty it occasionally.
To clear the cache, follow the steps in the "How to clear your iPhone's cache for Safari" section of our article, " How to clear the cache on your iPhone to free up storage space and help it run faster. Another place you can save a lot of space is by cleaning up your email. If you tend to save a lot of email, that can take up a significant amount of your other storage. To do that, you should delete email messages with large attachments.
The Mail app also has its own cache, which tends to get large with time. There's no easy way to clear that cache, but if you remove and re-add your email accounts, it will flush the mail cache in the process.
