How to reduce the memory that is spent on the "System"?

My phone has 32 GB of memory and at the moment 21 GB of it is occupied by the "System" column, as a result, I have a catastrophic lack of memory. The phone is 3.5 years old. I don't know what I can do to clear the memory.

Hi


Is that "system" or "other" (looks like "other" to me, just from colour and position)


If so, first see here:

If that is not relevant to you, then there are many articles on line on how to reduce "other". See this search:
