Support Excessive storage usage

This seems a little too much, 32gb for the system alone… what‘s there to do against it?

That 32 GB is split between iOS (11.76 GB) and System Data (20.19 GB, including caches and logs). If you’re short on space, start with the recommendations in Settings → General → iPhone Storage; iOS manages many temporary files automatically.

Every bit I free up gets automatically eaten up by system data within the next hour, no matter what I do

afaik system data changes frequently, at least it does for me. iOS will use whatever available if there is more than needed space. It will empty the cache when needed.
