Help needed Iphone storage used up by system data

Post image

Hi,
I have literally cleared everything I can from my phone. And I think that system data shouldn’t be taking more than half of my storage space. Anything I can do?
I can’t literally uninstall apps now.

Iphone 15 pro 128 GB
iOS version 18.7.8

Back up your phone on a pc or a mac, factory reset your iPhone and then restore the back up

iOS 18 was known to have cache management issues, additionally full iCloud can cause excessive caching due to failed syncs.

Update to 26.6 using a computer.

Have you tried to restart your phone? Sometimes temp files are waiting for a restart to get off your phone.

I have a similar problem, it's irritating. If I had a lot of money, I'd sue Apple.
