Welcome to Android Central. The miscellaneous crap may be the files that make the device operate. If you don't know exactly what you are deleting, don't. If you have cleared the system cache partition that is about it unless you have data, photos, etc. as they also take up space.
If you need additional help or have more questions or details to share, please join the site so you can reply in this thread. See this link for instructions on how to join Android Central.
