Is there anything I can do about this extremely vague block of data that’s taking up 30% of my phone’s storage? Mind you, this isn’t the operating system itself, as that’s listed as its own category.

Lol mine is 20 GB. And iOS takes 12.5GB. Thankfully I got the 256GB model, use Immich to backup images and videos, use Paperless-ngx for storing my docs and know how to use and manage a filesystem (however shitty it is on iOS) unlike most normies who would just let everything pile up and get confused on why there is no C: drive on iOS (real story lol).
