For me, it's actually just the app sizes merging with the system files because it's still trying to figure out how much storage Dual Messenger app takes.

The phone knows that much storage is taken, but it does not know how much storage each app takes.

After you tap the information button (i) and then confirming that you want to let My Files to access your app data, the system data would decrease to around 20 GB or less.
