How to Remove "Synched Content" From iPhone 14 pro running iOS17

[s2art]

I want to free up some space on my iPhone 14 Pro, running iOS 17 (21A5319a).
Something called "synched content" is occupying 68.74 gig.
I want to lower or remove this, is this possible and if so how do I do it?

Same problem 13 pro max. Can’t find a way to delete.

In my case, this "Synched Content" was the result of syncing photos from my PC, instead of from iCloud. In iOS 16.x it was all merged in the "photos" under "iPhone Storage" in "General". After the update, they are separated into "Synched Content" and "Photos". On a "test phone", iPhone XS, I tried to remove the synched content in iTunes, but the content stays there under "...storage" and is taking up space (59GB) nor can I re-synch the photos back again.

It doesn't matter the phone, it's an iOS 17 issue, as far as I can tell.

Has anyone gotten a clear answer on this yet? I’m looking at 17GB of extra “synched content” popped up out of nowhere… still no solution?

I’m not seeing this. Assuming y’all used Finder or iTunes to sync photos or music? Or restoring a backup?

This appears to be fixed in iOS 17.0.3...

I thought this was iCloud items that were downloaded locally or something ? I have this also.

EDIT: Figured it out, this was the MP3 music files I had downloaded to my iPhone from my PC.
