With every update, Genshin Impact gets new banners, events, quests, and regions. This naturally implies that the storage requirements of the game increases every 42 days.
Storage has always been a glaring issue for players, especially those who play on mobile. Not all devices can run a high-end game that also takes up over 10 GB of data.

Players who are struggling to manage their device storage can try deleting the unused voice-over packs from the in-game settings. This can help them in clearing over 3-4GBs data.
As of now, version 2.5 is live with Yae Miko's banner. Two rerun banners featuring Kokomi and Raiden Shogun will be released in the second half of the current update.
