Prior to upgrading to iOS 17, i had used 117 of 128GB of storage. I had to delete an app still as it said the upgrade needs 5GBs to install. However, after installing it completely took all of the remaining space and i cannot clear it.
Nothing changes after restarting either. It seems like the ios 17 downloader did/will not delete from the cache. Solutions?

Backup, Erase all content and settings, then set up and restore the backup
have you tried force restarting the iPhone to see if the issue persists?
Press and quickly release the volume down button. Press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
Ive used the shutdown option in Settings, as well as using the shortcut with the power and vol down. Not clears it. Is iOS 17 supposed to take up an additional 11GB?
Seriously. The update is taking up more than half of my storage.
Did you find a solution? iOS 17.2.1 is definitely taking up all my free space with system data. If I delete something, it just takes up more space. Very frustrating that Apple would release an iOS that does this. I have a 2022 iPhone SE and it has gobbled up 10 GB for the iOS and just keeps getting bigger on the System data, now at 11 GB.
I have tried and that the system file is still there.
System Othee around 5-7GB would be normal
Same happening to me as well.
