Need some help. My iPhone X has 43.69gbs of storage In “other system data”... I have no pictures I have deleted most apps. I have deleted my internet history and all that. I have tried all the tricks to make it smaller. My question is if I factory reset the phone will this clear that other system data storage? Or what’s another way to clear some of it out? I do t have a pc all I have is a chrome book to hook my phone up too

Honestly I would say just backup, wipe and restore. My 64GB 8 was showing almost half the storage taken up by iOS (on the bar graphic; only ~8 at the bottom of the list) and ~18GB on system data. I searched for solutions but nothing worked. I was so reluctant to try the 'nuclear option' but it's easy and effective. Now down to 13GB total used and everything else is just as it was. Didn't even need to re-log into my apps. Good luck!
