Re: HOW MUCH!!!!! over 20GB for Andoid system files!!!!!

Your post is too vague and doesn't offer enough information of OS version, System Settings, App Settings as Auto or Customized, etc..

I've never had any of my Android phones OS versions use anything close to that. Auto everything or OEM everything and no User Control or Customization can cause extreme device OS bloat. But Google System or OEM apps can be Disabled, Uninstalled and or Customized. If you just leave everything on OEM settings and Auto Update, vs. user control, then I can see storage being gobbled up. Also clean up App Caches and or App User Storage Data, which now needs to be done per app, vs. in the past being able to do the entire app system in one go.

I also avoid using Bloated apps and do not have high end, RAM loaded or extreme CPU devices as I can't afford them, but still my low end Android devices have always run lean and mean and are controlled by ME with nearly Auto everything Off or customized.

Nice thing with most Android devices, it's your choice how you want to use it.

My Moto "xyz", using Android 10 OS and up to date with security updates but is User Controlled / Customized, says it is using 12 GB's. So yes, not nearly as efficient as the Windows OS, but not 20 GB's.

You can probably Google Search the OS differences between Windows Mobile and Android.
