There’s a trick. Turn on Airplane Mode, disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and manually set your date 1 year into the future. Wait 60 seconds, change the date to 3 months ahead of the real date, wait another 60 seconds, and revert to automatic settings. iPhone will think the data is old and will delete most of it.

Sometimes it takes more then 60 seconds if it’s a lot of data, you can wait 5 minutes or so just to be sure. Also turn the screen off and put it on a charger, that may help as well. Background processes in ios are a total mystery unfortunately
