System takes 50-80GB worth of space. Help!

TeresaWidjaja — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 10:02:05 GMT

I have a 218GB S21 ultra and 50-80GB is used on "system" storage. Why is it so big how do I reduce it? Nothing I do works! 😵‍ 💫 😵

Previously managed to reduce it to 50gb after frequent optimizing and clearing all the cache but its still a lot!

Hi, seems like these are the ones that take up the most storage. U may want to check to see which u don't need anymore. I calculated and it adds up correctly.

Yes, i know i have many photos and apps. My question is on the 46.13GB of "system" storage. Why is it so big and how do I save space from that

Okay got it now. U have to click the Apps info icon and allow My Files to have access to Storage. Then u can see that the system storage is now reduced, cos Apps storage is also being added to the Systems previously. Now it's separated, after allowing My Files to have permission to Storage.

And it's very normal for System storage to take up a certain % of the storage space.
