176 GB system data

On iOS 17.1.2 I have 257 GB memory, out of which 176GB is system data.

Everything I clean from apps goes directly to system data. Restarted the phone many times.

Any help?

High System Data usage on iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18 I have a new iPhone 16 Pro Max with 256 GB of memory/storage. It currently says that I am out of memory/storage because the System Data is taking up 120GB (this is in addition to 18GB for the iOS). That means OVER HALF of my new phone’s memory is not usable to me. I’ve never had a memory issue with an iPhone. I am hoping there is a glitch in the new operating system, or perhaps the “AI” is eating it up and can be fixed. PLEASE fix this. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

System data on iPhone excessive memory usage Hi all! I have an iPhone 16 256 gb. The "system data" category amount for more than 100 Gigabyte of used space. Such number display great volatility within the same day (yesterday it was 15gb). How is that possible? Do you have any suggestions on how to make space and avoid the issue (I already forced restart, followed all iPhone suggestions and so on). Thanks in advance to all people willing to help me!
