High System Data usage on iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18

I have a new iPhone 16 Pro Max with 256 GB of memory/storage. It currently says that I am out of memory/storage because the System Data is taking up 120GB (this is in addition to 18GB for the iOS). That means OVER HALF of my new phone’s memory is not usable to me. I’ve never had a memory issue with an iPhone. I am hoping there is a glitch in the new operating system, or perhaps the “AI” is eating it up and can be fixed. PLEASE fix this.
