iPhone 12 - Other System data taking up 86GB+ on iPhone

iPhone 12 128GB iOS 14.4 (recently updated to 14.4)


Other system storage is at 86GB storage and taking up all memory space. Surely this cannot be correct, there must be a glitch.


I’ve attempted resetting iPhone and restoring through iCloud. But that actually caused the other system storage size to increase. And every time I check the storage increases more.

It is unlikely to be genuine

This is the only remedy, I prefer the PC/Mac method to catch everything.

Backup and restore
