Why do I have 90 gb of system storage

Hey keena177,

System Data is typically made up of things like the operating system (iOS/iPadOS), certain system files like Siri voices, fonts, dictionaries, and other files that cannot be categorized in one of the other storage options. It's not uncommon to have a significant amount of storage used for System Data, but not 90 GB of storage.

Have you recently set up a new device and restored a significant iCloud backup or enabled iCloud with an extensive Photos library? If you have, this could be a temporary result of your device protecting your iCloud content while it syncs. In this case, keep it connected to Wi-Fi and power (preferably while locked) overnight, or as long as possible, for a few days to see if it reduces the storage size.

If it doesn't, tell us more about your device and recent experiences. This may help us identify the issue and better assist with recommendations.

• Which device are you using? What is the iOS/iPadOS version?
• Have you recently set it up, restored an iCloud backup, or turned on your iCloud Photos or other iCloud content?
• When did you notice that it was using 90 GB of storage for System Data?

We look forward to learning more.

Kindest Regards.
