What is Other Storage space in Xiaomi(Redmi, MI) phones?
In Xiaomi(Redmi, MI) Android phones, Other Storage space includes miscellaneous files which are generated by system or installed apps.

You can not delete or clear Other storage files directly, as like audio, video or image storage files.
These Other Storage files are not accessible from mobile File Manager. As these files are part of system or app data.
Following are the two ways to delete/clear these Other Storage files.
1. Clear cache
You can clear cache files using the “Cleaner” app. This app is default available in Xiaomi phones.
2. Clear apps data
You can choose an app and clear app data from “Settings / Apps / Manage apps”, from here you can select any installed app and clear its data using the “Clear data” option.
No need to clear all installed apps’ data: In most cases apps which update many times and do storage related activities have more data. So, first check apps data size, and only clear data for those apps, which have big size.
And, don’t worry about clear app data, app will create required data again. Note: some apps may behave bit slow in first usage after clear data and be normal after that (Mostly in game apps).
