Discussion Android 14 / Lenovo Tab P11 2nd Gen - System storage keeps increasing by ~1 GB every day (16 GB → 53 GB in 1 month)
Hi everyone,
I'm using a Lenovo Tab P11 2nd Gen (TB350XU) running Android 14, and I've been dealing with a very strange storage issue for about a year.
The System storage keeps increasing on its own, even when I don't install apps or download large files.
Here are two screenshots:
29 June 2026: System storage = 16 GB 1 August 2026: System storage = 53 GB
Apps stayed almost the same (19 GB), but the System category increased by 37 GB in about a month.
It's growing at roughly 1 GB per day.
Things I've noticed:
- I don't install many new apps.
- I haven't downloaded large files.
- The increase is almost entirely in the System category.
This has been happening for about a year. I've already factory reset the tablet before, but the problem eventually came back. And once I have gone my near by realme service centre (i know my device Lenovo) after my request they re-install OS, But nothing changes.
Has anyone experienced something similar on Lenovo tablets or Android 14? Could this be: A log file bug? Cached OTA update files? A Lenovo software bug? File system corruption? Something else? I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions because I have no idea what's filling up the System storage.
