I used the old iPhone 6 to make a video one day, it says "Not enough storage". When I access iPhone Settings -> General -> iPhone storage, I found my 16 GB phone is showing 11.35GB used by System Storage. It's not normal. How to reduce the iPhone system storage?
Soon I find 70% of system storage space is taken up by "Other" files, it means that iPhone system storage contains the "other" file in iOS 11. If I need to reduce the iPhone system storage, I only need to remove the iPhone Other files.
What's "Other" in iPhone
iPhone categories data such as :Apps, Photos, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Padcast, Book, Mail, Messages. Anything stored on your iPhone, iPad that cannot fit into one of those categories is categorized as "Other." This includes:
1. Apple Music Download
2. Safari cache and cookie data
3. Safari download cache
4. Safari bookmark data
5. Photo thumbnails cache
6. VoiceMail
7. iTunes or iCloud backup and sync records
8. iTunes sync failed data
9. wifi and gps records
10. System app cache
11. iOS system log and crash files
12. iOS update download package
And more.
