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.



Best of luck!
