System data storage can not be removed. If you're talking about "Other", Start here: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If the issue still persists, Some benefits to reduce that space can be also obtained creating a full backup of your device, then restoring it to factory settings and, in the end, setting it up as new, as per these instructions: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support
When done, restore data from your previously made backup, then restart your device and check your device storage again.

how many GB do you call 'high GB'? System storage will be anywhere from 5-7 GB and that's perfectly normal..
If it's a fair amount higher, see if you can update to the latest iOS 13.6.1 to see if it helps.
Otherwise,
Backup/Reset/Restore your device, review these links:
