I got rid off most of my apps and data but my storage still says it is full, what can I do to get more storage?

How do I get more storage by deleting my apps and data without having to buy?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

To see what's consuming your storage:


  1. Open Settings
  2. Tap iPhone Storage


If you see that what you have removed is still there, force restart your phone. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
