Why does my system need so much space?

[Android Central Question]

I have a one plus 9 with 128gb storage, but my system uses 80gb. When I click on it, it just says "System uses files that are needed to run android 11"

Your system says 80gb? Can you please show a screen shot of it? That seems unusually high. I have an 8 and my system is 22gb. Are you running a custom rom or anything?

Welcome to Android Central! This sounds like a common issue with OnePlus phones. I think @Javier P can shed more light on it as well.

I agree with Mr Bojangles1 post a screen shot of your Settings >> About device >> Storage menu.
Are you sure it is 80GB and not 8.0GB? My OnePlus is running 12 and the operating system shows 8.9GB.

Have you Root your device?
