> Not sure if it was the same bug, but I had a storage issue where System Data ballooned to like 200GB.

> It had the most bizarre solution; airplane mode, set time to one year in the future, reboot, wait a few minutes, set time to 6mo in the future, reboot, wait a few minutes, set time to now, reboot. Went from 200GB to like 15GB. Was ridiculous.

I've had the same problem on my iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17, but the "set time to the future" trick didn't work. I'd already deleted plenty of apps, and was almost considering getting a new iPhone with more storage.

I had to install Filza, write a script to figure out what was consuming the most storage, and delete a few directories:

- /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple/geod/MapTiles

- /var/db/uuidtext

- /var/root/Library/Caches/com.apple.coresymbolicationd

Deleting these helped a lot.

I just checked again, and uuidtext and coresymbolicationd still seem to be bloating up in size. But the problems could also have been fixed in iOS 18/26 — I'm just not upgrading yet, because I like my semi-jailbreak.
