iOS 15.0.2 has 49gb of system data not including 10gb for the IOS

Why does my phone have almost 60gb of system data on it ? 10 seems like a lot! Something is wrong !

What iOS are you running? I’m on 15.2 19C5044b and using 8.1gb on my iPad 4. Cleaning up an iPad shouldn’t be that difficult just get rid of anything you don’t need! Or just do a fresh install after you back everything up!

When was it solved? I'm on a 32GB ipad (used solely for work docs and presentations) and my ipad is running out of space because of 7g of IpadOS and 15 Gb of System data.

Tried restarting and all and it's not cleaning up. There should be a way to at least, clean up.
