Does anyone facing issue with system storage and others taking more than 40 GB of space and on top of it updates software version 13.6.1 says that it won’t delete unwanted system data
iOS 13.6.1 includes bug fixes for your iPhone.
iPhone XS Max, iOS 13
The update to iOS 13.6.1 is supposed to clear excessive other on your phone. If you have 40GB of other, that’s way too much. The system files that are deleted when space is low, are unneeded system files.

how much space is your system storage taking up? if 6-7 GB, this is perfectly normal and you will not get rid of that
for 'other' storage issues, you should update to 13.6.1
you're saying that 'other' storage is still high?
You can use the Contact Support link in the upper right of your screen so that Apple can troubleshoot 'Other' storage issues on your device.
OR you can what worked for most people before the 13.6.1 update:
Backup/Reset/Restore your device, review these links:
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Try a forced restart first. Quickly press and release the volume up button, then quickly press and release the volume down button. Then hold the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then let go of the button sand let the phone boot up. Check the other storage again.
If that doesn’t work, follow the instructions by Lawrence Finch in this discussion .
I just updated latest version but still issues exists
tried below options
Pls advice any other options available
Thank You Demo . Force restart really helped to reduce storage from 40 GB to 16 GB . Thank you all for quick response and fix
System looks normal.. but yes, Other is waaaayy to high. Follow my previous post and either Contact Support or backup/reset/restore
You’re welcome. I’m happy to hear that the forced restart works.
