This article explains how to delete 'Other' on iPhone and iPad. Instructions apply to iPhones with iOS 13 or iOS 14, and iPads with iPadOS 13 or iPadOS 14.

“Other” is how your iPhone or iPad categorizes data that is essentially being used or left over by other apps. It’s a category for cached files that aren’t currently in use.

They’re categorized as iPhone Storage Other and iPad Storage Other because they don’t currently apply to an app that’s in use.
