    System Data, or Other Storage, can take up dozens of GB of your iPhone or iPad storage. Deleting all of that Data is not really obvious, but in this video I'll show you exactly that! Please make sure to give me your feedback down bellow!

    This is so not practical having to factory reset my phone every other week because system data takes up 40GB out of my 64GB.. Apple needs to fix this after all this time.
    EDIT: You can absolutely use the method of doing a cloud backup and then restoring to it after reset. So many who say you can't but I have done it successfully each time. I also know that Apple has made this happen intentionally, they should be required to fix it though if you ask me.

      @@teammiauw4741 I factory reset my phone. A lot of tutorials say that you can't use a system restore point/backup because the system data will come back. However I restored my phone using a backup/restore point and it worked for me. Sadly the system data will build back to stupid amounts over time again but this is the only way. You DO NOT need to factory reset your phone though, USE a restore/backup point :)

    I think it’s the constant caches from logging into your phone and apps. It will just constantly grow and grow if you don’t restart or reset your phone regardless. But yea Apple should really fix this because sometimes I try to delete apps and it seems it doesn’t even help because it will just grow back to where I didn’t want it to be

    I wouldn't use the verbiage "this is easy" etc, this is all based on how many third party apps you have and how much information you need to re-sync with your phone. For example, if you use Brave browser, you will have to resync your account. If you have Gmail, you would have to re-sync contacts, calendars, etc. It would be considered easy if you only had a few third party apps that don't require the extra legwork, sure. In my case I had to spend over an hour re-syncing apps and accounts, then changing all my data settings and such in the "settings" section. All of this just to delete some rogue files (25gb) that are taking up space. The easy way would be for apple to give us an option to remove junk files that aren't needed like any other smartphone or tablet would do. I have to be honest, this will be the last Apple product I buy, as a phone that claims to be "user friendly", I can't remember how many times I had to go through hoops just to do the most basic actions. Even iTunes is a joke, I had to do a hard drive link/junction in Windows Powershell because iTunes doesn't allow you to choose which drive iTunes makes a backup in, it defaults to drive C. That in itself is just insane to me. I have a hunch this bloat issue is done purposefully so your hand (as an Apple loyalist) is forced to buy another phone with a larger storage capacity. I don't even need my tin foil hat, I know they intentionally handicap older phones to push sales. Anyway, sorry for the rant, I had to take my frustration out somewhere.....appreciate the video.

    What do you do when you were using a 64 gig storage then you buy a new more storage phone 128gig but it keeps highlighting storage full.
    Yet you bought a new phone with more gigs than the past

    I can't get past the 9:00 point of the video instruction. I have no other devices. I was eventually given the option to just choose my phone number to receive the special code, but it never came to my phone. I can't enter the passcode because they're not sending it to my phone, which isn't (re)set up yet, so how can I receive the passcode yet at that point? I'm stuck in mid-setup limbo now.
