Why is iOS and system data taking up so much memory?

Over 23 GB is being used by these things. What can I do to decrease them or wipe then clean?

It actually depends on the model phone you have but it has been larger than 2 - 3 GB for some time now. When you restarted did the number is System Data change at all? If no, you may have a corrupt file or file(s). Try restoring your iPhone from your backup. On may iPhone 13 Pro Max the iOS is 9.21GB but System Data is only 14.53.
