Not enough space on Apple Watch for update

I have deleted every app from my watch and it still says I don’t have enough space to update it. I don’t know what else to do. I hardly had any on there to begin with. In fact, the ones I can’t uninstall are the ones I use the least so it was already irritating I had to uninstall the ones I actually used.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

Unpair your Apple Watch via the Watch app on your iPhone.

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch, choosing either to Restore from Backup or setting up as a new watch in either case, you may be offered the update if there is one as part of the process,if not you can start the update again in the watch app on the phone.
