New iPhone, almost half my storage already gone

So today I bought a new iPhone 7 because my SE was very old.

I transferred all my data over iCloud because it was easier, but I checked my storage and I’ve already used near enough half of it somehow.

I checked the storage and most of it is full of “System” files, which I can’t access.

One of the biggest problems on the SE was my storage space, and I have no idea what to do if I have the same problem again. I really don’t have the money to do anything too major, and I only just got the phone today so I’m a little worried.

The only way to create more storage space is to delete photos, messages, apps, etc.. Be sure to save important photos and data to your computer or an external drive. Check these links...
