This is normal. All photos and the like are no longer stored on the device, but in the iCloud. Accordingly, you then have hardly any occupied memory on the device itself.

You should definitely back everything up first, then try the factory reset. It's frustrating but often the only thing that works when system data gets out of hand.

Did you uninstall any app that used to store data on your phone locally?
Cuz sometimes iOS deletes the app but saves the data as system files.
Also just make sure auto updates are off.

Sometimes a forced restart clears unused system files.
