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.

Actually backing-up and reloading that backup also helps since the backup doesn’t carry any cache or logs. I’ve done it on my SO’s 12 mini just a few hours ago. So you don’t need a clean install still :D

Thanks for the info! I’ll keep it in mind when I can bothered to do something about it.
