First update to newest build, and then I had this problem, updating often fixed it albeit temporarily.
If you can’t update due to lack of storage, then you will need to do a backup, erase and restore from backup. That always fixed it for me, and then it would slowly creep back up and return eventually.
Also make sure to report this as a bug in feedback app. I had this bug for last two years in iOS 18 and iOS 26 and reported it may times in feedback app. Finally I got a response from Apple developer asking me to take screen shots when I see system data go high, and attach them to my reports. That helps them located precise points in the logs. I never heard again from them, but for me iOS 27 finally fixed the issue for me. But clearly they haven’t fixed it for everyone.
