IPhone-SE memory Taken by the system

On my iPhone-SE the system and it’s associated data takes up over 12GB out of my 16 GB. How can I release some memory from system cashes and other system related storage?

Hi,

If your device is low on storage, it automatically frees up space while installing an app, updating iOS or iPadOS, downloading music, recording videos, and more.

To make more storage available, your device can remove some of your items, like streamed music and videos, files in iCloud Drive, and parts of apps that aren't needed. It also removes temporary files and clears the cache on your device. But your device only removes items that can be downloaded again or that aren't needed anymore.


Here an article that explain how IOS manage the storage ---> https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201656

Also a previous discussion that can be useful ---> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251401901
