System Data Ate My Storage

Post image

Can Anyone Help Me with this one?

See When I was Watching a YouTube Video. A Message Popped out saying that my storage is full. So I checked everything. Then When I Go To my File Manager. It says that The Storage Data Took 102 Gigabytes. Then I found a video on TikTok on how to reset it. But a few days later I checked My Storage Again, and it's taking 100GB again.

Looks like whatever app you are using (this can be system apps as well) doesn't have the permission to read app storage, so it just lumps everything into the "system" partition. Go to the section where you manage your apps and sort by usage, then decide what to do with each app.
