Thank you for the screenshot.
"System Data" being the Culprit:
Use this Link: How to Check the Storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support. The storage named "System Data" is the grey bar. So, to clear that, this is what to perform: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Report black the results.

Try my User Tip:
Clear "System Data":
Clear the storage named "System Data". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.

Please Verify the Location of Storage:
Where do you see this "2.61GB"? Is it in iPhone Storage or is it in iCloud Storage?
