You should note that 32GB iPad models are space-constrained with very limited in available internal storage. To boost system performance, iPadOS will cache data (this is your system data).
System Data includes various system caches, logs and system resources. The only element that you can directly influence is perhaps your browser caches - which you can manually clear if you wish to do so.
For Safari:
Settings > Safari > Clear History & Website Data
For other browsers, you’ll need to find the relevant section of the App settings - which may be within the App itself.
Otherwise, transient system caches can be significantly reduced by performing a forced-restart of your iPad - although caches, by their nature, will again accumulate and be automatically managed by the operating system.
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
Cached system data can also be cleared with a restore. More information about clearing system/other data is outlined here:
