Why is system data taking so much of my storage in iOS 15.2?

Hey guys, I was updating my phone overnight to 15.2 and woke up with a full storage alert. When I looked at which was taking up storage… it was showing me that the other system data ate 192.32 GB of my storage. It wasn’t like that before I updated. I tried reset all settings and it’s still showing the full storage for me. The build number is 19C56. Is anyone experiencing the same issue as mine?

Clear "Other" (Applies to iPhone):

Clear the storage named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time. Use my User Tip: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. So, clearing other may be the way to go about this, as it would be performs through use of a computer.
