I have tried many ways to decrease the amount of storage in my iPhone and has reached the point where it kicks me out of my apps when I use them. I have tried to reset my iPhone with my computer but it did not work since it kept kicking me out. At this point, I do not know what to do since my iPhone is not letting me do anything. What is something that I can do to make my phone work again?

Keep your iPhone updated to the latest iOS. As of now, it is iOS 14.6 for iPhone 6S and above.
About cached files in "Other"
Finder and iTunes categorize cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos. Cached files are created when you stream or view content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your device so you can quickly access it again.
Your device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on your device differs from what you see in Finder or iTunes
Since Finder and iTunes categorize cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your device, go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your device
Your device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.
In short --> IGNORE, if you are not convinced, Restart the device. You will see that Others Storage will reduce but total storage will remain more or less the same.
