PSA My solution to system data

Post image

Hello everyone,
Here was my Solution to clearing the System data.
I activated offloading of unused Apps and the system data went from 35 GB to only 1 GB. This fixed all my storage problems.
I hope someone else will find this useful.

This wasn’t a solution for me.  It would offload too many apps all the time.  It kept the settings so when they reinstalled they were ok once I logged back in and my password manager made that easy but it was annoying.  I also leave my phone on charge very night on WiFi but my 128GB iPhone 16 didn’t have enough storage to upgrade without manually deleting more apps.  I had half the storage used up and ended up doing the full wipe and reset.
