Why is my iPad Air using 92gb system storage? I only have 128gb

I’m running iOS 11.3. My storage says 118gm used out of 128gb. I spent the last 2 days deleting apps. Then scrolled to the bottom of the storage list and system says 92gb. What?
My iPhone 5 has mostly the same apps and only uses 18 of 32 GB with only 6:65 in system. It is also on iOS 11.3
Help! Please. This can’t be right
