My system data is huge and deleting apps and downloads only increases it… how do I resolve this??
Some background - my other half very kindly bought me a new phone. I restored my old phone backup only for it to pretty much fill the storage instantly. My WhatsApp hasn’t been able to restore any media from prior to 1st Sep when I set up the phone, and is waiting for me to free up storage.
I realised my Dropbox was taking up 55GB in data even though I was only using 71% of 2.5GB storage in there, so I deleted it thinking the problem would be resolved… nope! Exactly the same amount popped up in ‘system data’. I’ve been trying other ways to reduce data usage to get my WhatsApp media to at least restore and then do a full backup of WhatsApp and my phone and then delete and restore, but everything I delete creates more system data and puts me in a worse situation. Please help! Everything online shows people deleting apps and system data magically decreases but it’s the exact opposite for me.
TIA!!
