Keeping in mind that the “other" or "system data” storage category is mostly filled with cache and system files created by Safari, the Mail app, other apps and iOS/iPadOS itself, that space is automatically managed by the operating system and you can’t interact with it.
That said, if your device is running iOS/iPadOS 13.6.1 or later, see this support article: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you already tried (to no avail) those steps, some benefits to reduce that space can be also obtained creating a full backup of your device, then restoring it to factory settings and, in the end, setting it up as new, as per these instructions: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support
When done, restore data from your previously made backup, then restart your device and check your device storage again.

I'm not an expert in these matter, and I don't understand the meaning of your words. And now system data takes almost all memory available, and stop all download of my apps.
I restored from Mac Book backup, but now it’s worst! The system data takes 99GB! I can’t do nothing with my new iPhone

Better. That’s your data, cached locally for quicker access. You would rather waste that storage, and wait for downloads?
