It is not possible to clean up System Data yourself.

System Data is cache and system files from iOS and the apps you have installed. These files help launch your apps faster and ensure you get the information you want without waiting. Over time, the size of System Data will both increase and decrease. iOS automatically clears unnecessary files to make room for new ones.
