"System Data" taking up half of my phone's memory - A Powerade - Mar 17, 2016
So since I updated my phone, there seems to be a mysterious 3-4GB of "System Data" on my phone's hard drive that I can't get rid of.

I have an LG Leon running Android version 5.1.1
Is this a known issue with updating Android or is this a new thing?

Did you try factory resetting it?
If i were you i would try and root the phone and go back to the older lollipop

If you go into recovery and clear cach and delvic (sry for bad spelling) that should fix it

In android it's normal....If you use the system for a long time it creates many, many files for the system working faster. Also not all apps are unistalled fully. Is your phone "rooted"?

Nope, not rooted.
