I keep getting a notification that my iPhone Storage is full. I have deleted all my music, podcasts, unused apps, many of my photos/videos, cleared my cache. And still I get the message. Nearly 30 GB (of my 64 GB phone) is attributed to "system data." Any ideas?

My experince says, please, ignore the Other Storage.
When you need more space on your iPhone the system will make more space by deleting the Other Data automatically.
About cached files in "Other"
Finder and iTunes categorize cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos. Cached files are created when you stream or view content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your device so you can quickly access it again.
Your device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on your device differs from what you see in Finder or iTunes
Since Finder and iTunes categorize cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your device, go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your device
Your device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.
In short --> IGNORE, if you are not convinced, Restart the device. You will see that Others Storage will reduce but total storage will remain more or less the same.

When you get a popup message on your iPhone or iPad that the storage is full.
Look closely storage of iPhone and iCloud.
iCloud storage is primarily for keeping a copy of your iPhone data safely on the cloud. If you delete data on iPhone, data on iCloud is gone too.
Turn iCloud features on or off
Turn iCloud features on or off - Apple Support
iPhone Storage (Setting > General > iPhone Storage)
iCloud Storage (Settings > [Tap your name] > iCloud)
iPhone memory full - for no reason?
