System data

delete system data, on an iPad Air 256 gb where I barely have 30 gb photos, videos and apps, I have 170 gb system data as a gift from Apple, so my iPad has become unusable to set up gopro videos. it will be the last time I buy junk from Apple , my first iPad Pro had a small defect but could not be repaired , for a device of 2000eur I expect more service . Apple does not provide any service, only collect the money and you can **** off for the rest. Now I'm in Egypt on vacation, internet is of course slow and unstable and I have an unusable iPad where I can no longer put my gopro videos on, online backup with slow and unstable internet is not an option either, thanks Apple.

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Keeping in mind that the “other" or "system data” storage category is mostly filled with cache and system files created by Safari, the Mail app, other apps and iOS/iPadOS itself, that space is automatically managed by the operating system and you can’t interact with it. (5-15GB is a "normal" occupation).

That said, update your device to iOS/iPadOS 13.6.1 or later, as per this support article: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you already updated your device to 13.6.1 or later to no avail, some benefits to reduce that space can be also obtained creating a full backup of your device, then restoring it to factory settings and, in the end, setting it up as new, as per these instructions: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

When done, restore data from your previously made backup, then restart your device and check your device storage again.

If the issue persists, contact Apple Support directly, using this link: Get Support
