Who told you System is taking too much storage? It’s not.
Best way to clear unnecessary files from Other is to Restore your phone, but when you updated it to iOS 11, you already did that, so there’s little benefit to doing it again.
How to free up storage on iOS devices
literally freed up 1 gig for me
Found a solution:
Plugin your iPhone to your computer and pair with iTunes. Do nothing but wait, after a few minutes it will reduce automatically.
So we are recommending users to reinstall their systems to claim back space... wow!
Bye bye Apple...
I cleared my website data and it went from 25GB to 13GB. Not sure if this will help but it did for me.
Not really helpful resetting your device. It will consume the space again. This is rubbish from apple side. All my devices have this problem. And I am talking about 40-80GB for system all the time.
Thanks, that's helpful information.
Just turn off iCloud drive in you settings!
Same, I do not have any apps, I only have like 1 and a half GB left
Just turn off iCloud drive in you settings!!!
I told you what the problem is. There is nothing further anyone can do. You must delete your thousands of messages if you want to recover the data in the System category that is stuff you put there.
Sometimes, deleting old back-ups and deleting photo or image attachments will clear space on iPhone.
