iPhone storage full

I have deleted all photos and videos, unused apps, music, podcasts, emails and media is still full in my storage. What else I should do to clear the iPhone storage? Thanks

Sometimes it helps to backup, erase the phone and then restore the backup. If you have a computer that you can use, that would be the ideal way to go because you will be able to download a fresh copy of the iOS software. If you don’t have a computer, you can still erase the phone and restore a backup, but the software will not be downloaded and installed again.
