correct me if i’m wrong, but should the system really take up that much space? and is there any way for me to debloat it or cut it down in some way? thank you all for the help, my phone is a Galaxy A10e

    It’s not only bloat. From what I remember I think it’s also swap space, probably also some space for caching and some other things. E.g. I have 42GB of system space out of 256 on my Galaxy S21, and it’s definitely not all bloat apps.

    There’s also two copies of the system partition so you can reboot into an upgrade (or revert back from one). So that’s half the space.

    That’s classic Samsung filling it with bloat. However I’m on a Xioami phone atm and its even worse at 11.5 gb atm…
