When we Check Storage Data through "My files→Analyse Storage→"Other" . Then we came to know that it is holding Size in Certain Gbs & many a times it is even Equivalent to the size of "System" files.. And i was aware that this size is somewhat used by the Cache/Ram..






Screenshot of Analyse Storage when i shared it here for Somebody (25th May, 8.30pm) & it is after peak usage of Google chrome, Youtube, Twitter, Members App, Facebook, Amazon Music, Penup, Prime video, Zee5, Banking & Equity Trading apps etc. Without Clearing Cache ↓
Then i Optimised the Device through Device Care & Cleaned Ram also from Same and used it next day morning with less Potency of these apps & taken Screenshot in the morning next day (26th May, 12.28pm) and the size was around 29Gb...
Then i decided to Clear Cache of high consuming apps which i frequently using & Cleared them one by one...And the result was that around 3.5Gb of Size got reduced..I also checked that clearing Data in Apps Storage also reduces this Size accordingly...
But as soon as you use these apps the size will come to same size more or less.. Now to clear my Curiosity Since the size is still around 26Gb and my S22Ultra has certain issues after latest update...So i decided to Make it "Factory Reset", taken Backup on laptop & initiated the Same...The movement i have reseted my handset, with no third party apps installation & Backup restoration i checked the "Other" file size. And it was only around 4Gb, Since now i have only very few Samsung's own Apps...
And after Completion of Backup restoration & almost all apps got installed then this size Came around 19Gb..
Now today (28th may, 10am) after using these apps it comes around 20.5Gb
So, Finally what i have observed is that this Space occupied is the Combination of "Data n Cache" used by the apps and to some extent the Ram. And this Size varries from person to person with even same Handset, like my Sister's S22 Ultra having always 5-6Gb lesser compare to me, Since Most of mine apps not used by my Sister.
So my question is that when maximum of it is associated with Apps 🤔 Why not this Size reflects in Front of "Apps" in Internal Storage/Analyse Storage ?? So that we will not get confused with this Other Section with this much of Size holding...

My query is about why Other files & not in App section Since most of it is associated with Cache & Data stored for apps ?? But then it is cleared by Ashu1143 that i need to give Permission for app section by touching "i" in front of App section..Since this much of private data in Other is Confusing..

Most of it is NOT cache, temp or hidden files. That's what I have explained in the post linked above.

Bro.. Yes, most of it is not from alone Cache itself...thats why i quoted in my comment that "most of it is associated with Cache & Data stored for apps" here data stored means App + Data.. Like if i take eg. Of Facebook & WhatsApp from my case after going to App section & then seeing total usage & then app wise...
