My iPhone system data is consuming 40GB of my 64 GB space. Every day I delete everything possible off my phone but every day my phone storage is completely full. I have followed all recommendations to alleviate the issue but nothing is fixing it.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Thank you for the screenshot.


Clearing "System Data":

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