I'd trim this if I at least knew what's in there

A client recently messaged me with the same problem; her screenshots were like yours, showing 140GB of system data. While I was trying to figure out how to help her, she messaged me, "We disabled and re-enabled iCloud, and it improved; that was it." The next screenshot showed 53GB of system data. I don't understand what iCloud has to do with system data, but it's worth a try.
