System files taking up too much space

[Android Central Question]

My wife and I have the same model of REVVL V+5G phone. Both using Android 11 and bought at the same time. However, my wife's system is taking over 40 GB while mine has not going past 11 GB.

We did a factory resent a while ago, which reduced her system. But almost immediately it started to climb back up to around 40GB.

Just a heads up I'm talking about the system files themselves, and not the space taken up by "Photos & Videos" or "Other Apps" , but "System" on the Android 11 Storage Screen. Thank you.

Is your usage broadly the same? Similar apps, activities, etc?

Welcome to Android Central! See if it happens in Safe Mode as well: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/t-mobile/t-mobile-revvl-v/safe-mode/
