Why does it say my apps are taking up so much storage on my iPhone despite the fact I have very few downloaded apps.

like seriously, I don't have several walls of apps, I only have like 12, none of which are games, I have apps like tiktok, YouTube, instagram, discord, and flightradar24 but other then a few smaller apps I don't get why I don't have that much storage, I've offloaded half of my apps but still, just look.

iPhone SE, iOS 17

In the list below, you see that TikTok is taking up 32! Gigabytes of storage. You might want to empty the cache of this app, that you can do by deleting it and reinstalling it again. This will stop TikTok from “eating” this much space on your iPhone

There is 45GB showing on just that screenshot with TikTok being the biggest problem. Tap on it in that screen and you will have the option to delete the data.
