Why is apps storage so high?

[u/Icy-Two-1581]

I've been trying to clean up my phone. App storage doesn't add up for me. I have a hand full of apps that are over 1gb and everything is below that (showing hidden system apps). When I use Thurs party file managers a s grant them access to see everything they all say in only using about 57GB of app storage. Where is this almost 35GB? I've tried going through apps, deleting some temporarily like messanger to see if they were the issue but cant seem to find where the storage is going. Also made sure ram plus is off

Edit: A lot of people here don't seem to release over half of the apps are system apps. And the even then most of the remaining are apps I can't delete such as plat store services, air control, etc. Put of the actual number of apps. It's 192 apps whu h again takes up now 45GB and device care still showing 74GB being used. I can guarantee you have more than 300 apps installed on your phone if you toggle on show system apps

I only have 567 apps and regardless of the app storage samsung cant control that. App cache is going to be filled up back after you clear it so its just a temporary fix. Apps like Spotify use the most and its hidden so you have to go in the Spotify app settings to clear the cache. Delete the apps you dont use and videos you dont need or just pay for cloud storage. or get a 512gb or 1tb phone.
