User level: Level 1 (4 points)How do I delete Apple Maps Data and documents? I’ve never used the app and deleted it long back. It shows 8.7 GB data. I’ve tried reinstalling , deleting, clearing locations everything. Nothing’s working. Feel like it’s such a scam to buying more storage when half of the storage is consumed by unused unnecessary data. Is there no solution to this?

Did you already try to delete the Maps App, create a backup after that and restore your iPhone from that backup again?
Have a look at this older discussion about reducing system data:
