Is there anything I can do about this extremely vague block of data that’s taking up 30% of my phone’s storage? Mind you, this isn’t the operating system itself, as that’s listed as its own category.

EDIT: I tried (a) backing up to my computer, factory resetting, then restoring from backup and (b) setting the date years in the future. Neither worked, in fact (a) actually increased my system data to 34 GB! What DID end up working was updating my iOS from 18 to 26, which I had to do from my computer via iTunes since my phone was full. Apparently major system updates reset system data

    Interesting. I don’t have either of those apps but I do have way more than most people I assume. I’ll look into it. Glad I’ve got a 512gb model.

    Cold also be to do with the fact that I’ve been transferring data without a clean install since iPhone 4s lol

      Actually backing-up and reloading that backup also helps since the backup doesn’t carry any cache or logs. I’ve done it on my SO’s 12 mini just a few hours ago. So you don’t need a clean install still :D
