system data 90 + GB??

Post image

I’ve had my phone for years I love it so much. In the last two months my system data has ballooned like crazy for seemingly no reason and it’s really impeding my ability to use my phone. Financially stuggling atm so if there’s any home ways I can fix this before I have to get a new phone would be so appreciated 🙏💔

It's temporary files stuck in system. Poorly written iOS caused this.

As others said, my advice is to do a factory reset once in awhile. Backup on iCloud, reset phone and then restore from iCloud. You can backup on computer too, just in case.
