Welcome to Android Central! I wouldn't mess around with trying to delete files or folders from that category. "Other" and "Miscellaneous" don't mean "Useless." They're likely important data files/folders that just don't fall under the other specific categories for the file manager.

"Other" just means "not categorized".
These are usually files that are not user-controlled, often system files.

The general rule is: if you did not put the files on the disk, then you should not delete the files.
