Storage on Galaxy J3

EJB986

Newbie
New phone a few weeks old.
Purchased the phone to use mainly as a normal mobile and maps on our travels from Osmand.......so little use as yet.
Use PCs/laptop most of the time.
16Gb of internal storage has dwindled to only 4 Gb available space......I think it was about 9Gb either free or used on purchase
Any maps downloaded have been moved to a 64Gb card I have added.
Only 60Mb of storage shows as user data...and on the 64 Gb card only 90Mb on the added storage although I did assume that the maps were around 2Gb or more.

No other apps can be moved to my added storage.
Is the OS really using 12Gb or have I missed the obvious?
Thank you.
 
Downloaded SD Maid.
Two or three scans don't seem to have made any difference.
Now have 12.2Gb used and 3.8Gb free.
On my first post 4Gb was free.
Is this really a normal usage/free space when the phone is hardly used?
 
No, all seems to be working well with no operating problems at all.
When the built in system cleaner is used it goes to 100%.
Info from SD Maid:-
Public storage (Secondary) 100Mb used/60Gb capacity.
Public storage (Primary) storage/emulated/0 74Mb used 11Gb capacity.
