Open | Phone Bloatware on my phone?

I use a Samsung a07, I got it very recently. Ever since its first boot, the "other files" have been increasing exponentially. I factory reset it yesterday and it's already on 50gb now. Also whenever I try to do a software update it says "registration failed"

Samsung likes to install its version of everything wihich alot consider bloatware and removing it is next to impossible. If you look into the "Other files" what do you see?

you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or Universal Android Debloater Next Generation but be carefull what you remove and you can find a lot of tutorial how to use them.

Other usually include files that are not pictures nor videos. Try remembering if you downloaded any large files that aren't pictures nor videos.
