It went down to 8. This is weird but it is a blessing for my storage. I small hint I did was to delete google chrome I hv no idea how it is linked, but for me it reduced abt 2GB. However in a few days time the 2 gig came back. Just had this problem, investigating with PhoneView on my iPhone it was Apple Music that had cached protected.
I found articles about this on Apple Discussions from , quite incredible that this obvious bug is still around. Some apps like WhatsApp uses System Storage for some reason. If you have WhatsApp, look here first. This is a great point and the same idea of large storage usage applies to Instagram cache and other similar apps too.
I have seen Instagram and Facebook take up several GB each, they will keep storing data repeatedly. System storage is now at 90 of my As I free up other memory, the system storage just grows. I ran out of total memory and freed up about 5 gig. Connecting to a computer with iTunes shrunk my System size in half.
Why would it do that, maybe it dumps a cache, maybe it recalculates something, who knows. This is such a silly issue. Mark, I think you need to try the next and most annoying option then: Backup, restore. As the article suggests, your next option is to backup the iPhone, then restore it from the backup. With iCloud and a large phone it can take an extraordinarily long amount of time if you have slow internet, for me with a 10mbps connection it will take days to restore iCloud.
Im so sad to see apple like this. Dont worry apple. I support u. I will buy newest iphone with biggest storage and subscribe to icloud for tb. This does not and is not fix. The iphone is only good as a phone now… Are there any lawsuits?
Is there any chance that the lazy programmers at apple will clean up there act? Can you imagine something like this happening under Jobs? It is simple awesome. Thank you for the tip. I could not load a recent iOS upgrade on my iPad because of not enough storage available. My iPad is a 16 gb machine. Unlike some of the other comments my problem was identified in going through and looking at each app in terms of documents and data I found two apps which were storm radar and RBDigital that showed an unrecognizable number like that had no MB designation after the number.
This was a red flag for me. Obviously, both of these apps were somehow corrupted and causing a problem for IOS.
I could now upgrade my iOS to the latest software. I then reloaded both apps that I had deleted which now ran fine and did not affect the storage capability of my machine. I have since looked at the storage utilization of those two applications and they seem to be working fine. My total storage used is So I have almost 4. Thanks for the tip! The system storage on my 64 GB iPhone 6S is And now i keep receiving a message that my storage is full! I already tried this trick but nothing happen.
Please help me! Earlier tonight I had 37GB of system storage, which has been driving me nuts. I think a few people have mentioned that the system storage number at the bottom is misleading. I started selecting each app to see how large the docs and data were, and I started offloading some of the apps to see what would happen.
Within a minute of offloading Apple Store, the system storage dropped by 10GB. I also deleted some apps completely bc the data was huge and I stopped using the app anyway. Guys your comments made me think the worst. What if. Scary Thoughts. Had to go through and manually delete. For now, the iphone8 remains, but in a couple years…unless Apple starts getting their act together, I may be searching elsewhere. I have 60GB of pictures it says but when I delete photos both the picture category and the system category go down.
I dug into this and found the culprit: iOS app cache sizes. Guys I removed Hotstar and it cleared 30 gb.
It was storing even my deleted videos as system files. Basically remove 3rd party video streaming apps like Netflix hotstar prime video. It will free up space. No need to backup or restore anything! I just spent some time with a good Apple Care advisors : this problem is caused by iCloud Drive.
If you deactivate it, no more problem. It worked for me. I did a full restore and set up as a brand new iPad and system was 6. Then I tried connecting to my laptop and it moved up to 7gb.
I went from 20GB to 6. Definitely give this a try if yours is absolutely massive, as proven I have shaved 14GB off of mine! Actually, my bad… when I disconnected it, it went down below 7 gigs… thanks for the tip!! I have an iPhone 8Plus with newest updated software. No iTunes compatible laptop available to me and may System is taking up When you visit that section it calculates the sizes of app, photos, etc.
Any volume it has not finished counting gets lumped into the system storage, which makes it appear bloated. Leave it a few minutes and look again your system storage will have shrunk right down. Nothing to do with plugging it into itune, it is the waiting for a few minutes that is the key. I literally had 2gb of storage left on my 6s 64gb.
It took foreverrrr to update and backup. After updating, my storage went up to 5gb. I had to recheck my photos and videos and all were still there…I have no idea how this happened. The update took about 3gb. Holy mother of God!!! My 16gb iPhone 6s was reading I noticed the same thing, and then realised I had automatic system updates turned on. So I had an entire download of iOS 12 ready to install on my device. After the installation my system storage dropped by 16gb.
Might not be the problem everyone else has but solved mine on an iPhone 8 Plus. After all the resets and clear caches finally, I figured out what the issue on my phone was. It appears iOS seems to classify most of the WhatsApp chat media as system storage or other. Just prune your WhatsApp chat Media videos, photos etc to see your system storage reach to actual levels. This works. I had systems size at 18 GB…cleared some whatsapp groups storage..
Would suggest clearing up your whatsapp storage to see if it does make a change for you. What works for me: 1. Close out of all apps 2. Hold power button to turn off 3. Instead of sliding to turn off, hold the home button down without holding the power button This clears the cache and may need to be done a few times to see a noticeable difference. Glad to hear it worked for you to reduce System storage in iOS!
Just a guess, could be other reasons. If anyone has a better solution please let me know. I notice any time I delete files from my phone, the System storage increases to close the gap, until nearly all the space is used up again.
Capitalism, gotta love it. My system storage is more than gbs running iOS I have a 32gb iPhone 6s and my system storage is Without booking back an appointment that I cannot make due to work in a weeks time and going without a phone while they do checks it seems I have no option but to now look elsewhere for a phone!
I had the same problem with my 6s. The Other storage is actually data that is already deleted and waiting to be re-written again. That is why every time you delete an app, the app storage become smaller and other storage increase. I backed up, factory reset and restored from the backup. Here my iPhone 7plus going mad with the system storage taking 64 giga and growing. Am I able to do this on my iPhone 5s?
So I click on that and wait for it to completely load. Could it be in another place? Bad news. This lowered my system storage from 10GB to 7GB but the total storage used remained exactly unchanged. Seems to have shifted cached data from system to the storage devoted to the apps themselves. Just manually closing suspended apps shrinks it considerably. I typically close all suspended apps every few days. I just killed all the suspended apps again and it immediately dropped to 5.
I suspect that for most people that never do this, it would not be uncommon for tens of gigabytes of storage to be consumed just by suspended apps alone. I assume this will also vary per app — some apps may require much more data to maintain the suspended state. The trick works for the iPhone but if you go back another time the system is big as it was before Mine went from 19Gb to 11 GB Then I disconnected it from my Mac and checked again and it was 19Gb again.
Did the trick again went down and up again.. Facebook is famous for this and retains far too much data than is necessary IMHO. If you travel a lot, navigation apps and weather apps set to go into cache overload as well compared to folks that stick closer to home.
What would be nice if we had the ability to allocate cache space on a per app basis instead of letting the apps or the system determine that usage. I wonder if something changed. Anyone using Facebook is crazy if you want my opinion!
