Why is system data taking over 75gb

Hello! I have recently updated my iPhone from iPhone X to iPhone 13 pro.

the storage on my previous iPhone was 167.3 but on the new iPhone suddenly it’s showing 221.1gb.


system data is taking over 75 Gb? Why and how should I clear this? I have restarted my iPhone and shut down method also doesn’t work! What should I do?

Thank you for the screenshot.


Ridding of "System Data":

Use my User Tip:The storage named "Other"(now called "System Data") is a grey bar seen in storage. Read my User Tip for instructions of ridding of it: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip
