My iPhone 14 Pro 256GB is taking up 220GB and IOS 9.8GB 😡😡 I reboot the phone and it drops to around 16GB but builds up rapidly, I can’t use mobile data anymore as my monthly allowance is used up in minutes as soon as I leave the house. I’m at my wits end with this problem! Any ideas please?
If the above does not resolve the issue then...
I would ignore that because this system data will make room when you need more space on your iPhone. These are some cache and temporary files that will be erased by the system whenever you try to save more files.
You may --> Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (IN)
Tap on System Data it will take you to "Other System Data"
Now the question is what is the "Other System Data" storage. Read on...
About cached files in "Other System Data"
Finder and iTunes categorize cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos. Cached files are created when you stream or view content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your device so you can quickly access it again.
Your device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on your device differs from what you see in Finder or iTunes
Since Finder and iTunes categorize cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your device, go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your device
Your device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.

I’m also having this problem, along with a log of others from what I’ve read online. Apparently it’s a bug that apple needs to sort out. I’ve restarted my phone, I’ve offloaded unused apps, deleted all downloaded content from music, movies, docs etc. It shot back down to 120GB used from 255 but only a few minutes later it went rent back up to full capacity. It’s an absolute joke!!
