I have a pretty new 128GB iPad Pro that seems to be filling up on storage much too fast. I have about 25 apps installed and none have much data except for a few TV shows that I downloaded from iTunes. When I add up all the data of the used apps listed, it seems like much less than what is being reported as used.
Here is my storage overview (a couple really small items cut off). Am I missing something here?
Connect to iTunes via a cable and in the summary section look at the space occupied and what is responsible -
In any case - by how much is the data off from adding from what is being reported?
I recommend the steps here first:

There is likely a corrupted app or system feature creating the storage bloating. To resolve you would need to restore the system.
System Restore: First backup your device using iTunes. Also import your photos to your computer and copy all important data. Try restoring from backup first and testing it. If it does not help, you may have to restore as New and reconfigure from scratch as the backup could be corrupted. For this reason it is important to have your photos and data saved separately from the backup. Here are the steps for a Restore:
In iTunes it says the correct usage of about 16 gigs used. I suppose I'll just restore it the next chance I get and see if that solves the issue. Thanks for the help.
What version of iOS is this being seen in?
This is on iOS 9.3.2

Then the system or an app is bloated as I suspected and the restore should resolve.
