Voice memos iphone storage

My phone suddenly started showing 175GB of storage for the voice memos app (which is completely empty by the way) and whenever i try to delete the app both from my home screen and from the manage storage section in settings it doesn’t delete and starts showing as com.apple.VoiceMemos and the documents and data remain the same. i’ve tried everything from deleting, reinstalling, offloading, restarting my phone nothing is working and i am so mad my phone has become full to the brim and i can’t use it for anything! APPLE FIX THIS

Hello vitak001,

You may wish to try resetting all settings on the device to help with that issue.

1. Navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset Phone

2. Tap Reset

3. Tap Reset All Settings

This page here helps to note what's involved with choosing that option: Return iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support

Reset All Settings: All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.

Be sure to avoid selecting the 'Erase All Content and Settings' option from the same screen, as this would erase the device fully.

Cheers.
