Holy crap. The way I do it when it gets bad, is not a very fun or easy way. Backup your phone, then fully reset the phone and restore from iCloud, that’ll bring system data way down. That’s a crazy amount of storage. Definitely need to reset and restore phone. It’ll probably take a little bit, but it’s worth it for that amount of storage. Geez.

It’s insane; the phone isn’t even that old. It’s a launch day 14 Pro, like what the heck lol. Thanks, I’ll try this.

It’s like cache, and useless data, system files, bits and pieces of apps and previous updates and other crap. People say it’s to make things smoother/faster, but that amount is stupid crazy. Definitely try resetting and restoring. It’s probably the long way to fix it, but I do it when it gets to 15-20gb, 70+ is insane, never seen that before lol hope it works for ya.

Wow that’s a lot of storage, I am checking my system files space but I don’t know if this a kind of bug or I’m just lucky.

I had this with a launch day 14 pro, drove me mad for a couple of weeks. I’d have to restart device to clear down almost 1 TB of system data. Apple advised me to rebuild but choose sync from cloud & not sync from another device. Solved my problem.

Are you on the latest version of iOS? I’ve had this issue for a long time, then after the latest update from this week my phone is staying at under 10GB for system data. It was over 80GB at one point.

Yeah I’m on 16.4. I updated this morning and was hoping it’d fix the problem but unfortunately it didn’t :(
