Is there anything I can do about this extremely vague block of data that’s taking up 30% of my phone’s storage? Mind you, this isn’t the operating system itself, as that’s listed as its own category.

        Local backup saves sensitive data which doesn’t go into iCloud backups. For the most part it doesn’t matter because that data can usually be restored from the keychain and secure enclave, but that takes longer and can still miss some bits you have to enter yourself.

          Thought it was something like that ya!

          I like the idea of doing a full DFU restore from IPSW when getting a new phone to go full paranoia mode. Haven’t done but… anyway then local restore.
