I am trying to use iTunes on a Windows PC to restore from a backup... when trying to do so, iTunes has taken up a total of 27.84GB of storage... this isn't backing up a phone... this is putting the already made backup, onto my phone... this should not take up almost 30GB of storage to transfer a already existing file over a USB cable...
iPhone X, iOS 13
think I discovered what its doing... its literally taking a new backup of my device everytime I try to restore from a backup... wow iTunes, wow https://i.imgur.com/uwAfEx8.png

my ssd literally has "0 Bytes remaining" now
FYI it doesn't clear out the space after it fails (because there is no more storage left) so I am just using more and more of my ssd space trying to do this..)
this is a screenshot of WinDirStat... all of this purple data is from itunes... the rest is just the rest of the files on my disk https://i.imgur.com/yGtJHwR.png
the one on the 7th was my original backup
deleted those files and now I have 31GB AGAIN
this is literally sad how iTunes does this
hopfully 31GB is enough for iTunes...
will 100% be uninstalling iTunes after this as it has no purpose to me
Post a screenshot of iTunes where it shows your storage.
Why does iTunes eat storage space when restoring a phone
