It looks like that might be standard for that phone: https://www.gadgetsnow.com/compare-mobile-phones/Moto-Z2-Force-vs-OnePlus-6. The OS should only take up about 4-5 GB, so that phone probably has a lot of bloatware preinstalled, accounting for the other 10 GB. It can be pretty outrageous. Phone manufacturers and carriers have gotten better about this lately, but some are still pretty terrible. Some bloatware can be uninstalled -- look through all of your apps in Settings>Apps​, and see if it's possible. Otherwise, you'd have to root the phone in order to uninstall the bloat.

Here is my screen shoot, please help me to eliminate all the bloatware preinstalled, i'm sure you must have some tutorial or post showing how to do that? i'am a moderate progarm knowledge, some stuffs are easy for me for me, but in movile devices i get lost couse every brand have their own procedures to do some modification system.

Sorry, but I don't have any rooting experience. The forums at XDA-Developers.com is a better resource for that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force

Sure, glad I could help! I should add that although you often can't uninstall bloatware, you can typically Disable those apps. This reverts the app to the factory version (which is usually smaller than the updated version through the Play Store, thus saving some space), and prevents it from opening (which means it won't compete with other apps for RAM). Go to Settings>Apps, select the app, and look for a Disable button. (If you don't see one, then it can't be disabled.)
