No Storage

I kept getting a notification from my phone saying I had almost no storage so I deleted more than half of my photos and even went into my cloud and cleared up space. However, on my phone, it still says I have no storage, it has not even changed the amount I have left. I have restarted my phone and have changed the date and time on my phone and nothing has worked. I have also deleted the photos from the "recently deleted" part of the photo app. Please help I have no idea how to fix this. I have an iPhone 13 and currently have IOS 15.6.1 I want to update to 16.6 but I can not as I do not even have enough space to update my phone.

Hi silvadiego925, you might be trying to free up storage on your iCloud account instead of the local device storage. See this guide on how to How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support. This will give you an overview of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses.


In the detailed view you can:

  • Offload the app, which frees up storage used by the app, but keeps its documents and data.
  • Delete the app, which removes the app and its related data.
  • Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of its documents and data.


If your device is almost full and can't free up space, you might get a Storage Almost Full alert. If you see this alert, check the storage recommendations or offload some less-used content like videos and apps.


Hope you're able to upgrade to 16.6 soon. Have a great day!
