iOS has some persistent storage management bugs that can prevent on-device storage from being properly released into the Free pool sometimes, whether in System Data, Files, or other apps. Sometimes the issue corrects itself with time, but if not, the solution is generally to make a backup of the device, erase the device, and restore from backup.
Inconvenient, but unfortunately no other way that I have found, and a long talk with Apple Support did not offer any better solutions.
