Insane 'System data' size on iPhone

On a 64 GB phone, the system data is about 20 GB !!

This is after I reset the phone once, cleared all caches,history logs etc - the usual suspects.

Any suggestions to reduce it?

Ridding of "System Data":

System Data (formerly called "Other"), basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. Use my User Tip to fix this: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip.
