Hi all! I have an iPhone 16 256 gb. The "system data" category amount for more than 100 Gigabyte of used space. Such number display great volatility within the same day (yesterday it was 15gb). How is that possible? Do you have any suggestions on how to make space and avoid the issue (I already forced restart, followed all iPhone suggestions and so on). Thanks in advance to all people willing to help me!
iPhone 16, iOS 18
You could have some corrupt data on your iPhone. First please try a Force Restart as shown below. Then if that doesn't help clear up system data storage you should try erasing your iPhone then restoring from a backup.
Dear SravanKrA,
thanks for your answer. I noticed how the system manage the space. Though, when such an issue appears, I am not able to take more pictures for a while and this is a big problem for me. In fact, the volatility of the space available is a big issue. Do you have any further suggestions on how to avoid such an issue?
Thank you in advance!
I would ignore that because this system data will make room when you need more space on your iPhone. These are some cache and temporary files that will be erased by the system whenever you try to save more files.
