In settings, storage , *tap miscellaneous, does it give you option to delete it?

I really question if SD Maid is compatible with your device.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see where it reports storage for eMMC partitions. Only named folders and filesystems.
It's also something that you want to use VERY judiciously.

Hi
Some of them may be/probably are swap partitions which are transient and should go once the app needing a large swap area closes (although its not easy to identify which are swap files). Their size depends on what your device is doing at the time. Its not realistic to try to delete them as if they were permanent data storage. Android tends to use available memory (and ram) efficiently - ie maximizes use and you should not worry unless performance is actually faultering.

Active swap on a stock Android? Swap that shifts as much as 11 GB? What??
Get Terminal Emulator, do the following -
df > /sdcard/df.txt
mount > /sdcard/mount.txt
View txt files on pc with WordPad, not NotePad.
That will show the filesystems and their allocations, and then the mount points for everything used in the partition table.
I know that it's obviously heresy to suggest it but I'll say again - I doubt that SD Maid is telling the truth.
The commands I've provided will tell you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

You can see if swap is implemented if rooted with the free command.
I have never seen swap implemented on Android other than as a root parlor trick.
Maybe I missed something on Samsungs?
By the way - Samsung is not afraid of hooking multiple mount points in such a way as to make themselves look good.
The SGS4 released in Europe, 16 GB, 7 GB free for the users. People complained. So when it came to the US, the Samsung tools showed that it had 9 GB for the user.
Except no it didn't and df exposed the truth.
Good luck.
