Can "Misc Files" be cleared out completely

[AC Question]

Why is it that after I go into "storage" and clear out "miscellaneous files" it still says it is taking up 5.46gb of memory space?

Which phone do you have? In some models the system files are included under miscellaneous and they can't be deleted for obvious reasons. Post a screenshot with the misc files and we'll try to help you.

As you can see most of that storage is taken by system files and there's not much you can do with them.
