About "System Data":

System Data (formerly called "Other"), basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. Use my User Tip: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip.
