If I want to free up storage on my iPhone 5?
Note: I'm technologically challenged btw. My husband is the one who knows all the newest techno terms and how it all works, not me. So please forgive me now for any confusion caused by my ignorance.
I have an iPhone 5 and it came with 16GB of storage on the device. My iCloud came with 5GB free space and it's not even full yet. I have 2.3 GB space avail in iCloud. I only have my iPhone & iPad linked to my account. Less devices less data stored? BUT! My phone won't let me take anymore video or photos. It just says "manage storage" So now realizing that I finally understand the difference between my devices storage and my iCloud, is it a bad idea to just delete all my photos from the camera roll on my iPhone? They should be stored in my iCloud as I have it set in my backup's to do so, right? My photos take up a huge amount of space on my phone. However these are pics of my children, family, birthdays, everything! I would die if I lost them by stupidly erasing them from the device just to "manage storage" I want to know what you think? Good idea? Or bad?
I can always back up on my PC but I need my husband to do this for me bc I'm completely inept. And he always puts my requests off for a long time and I can't wait anymore. I need my storage space freed up so I can take pics and download newest version of iOS.

Google is also sometimes a wonderful place to start searching for how to use a computer better since it's an invaluable skill to have in the modern world. Once you back up your photos to your computer by following the steps in the above link, then you can start erasing photos from your phone.
- What to do about my iphone storage saying I'm using up way more photo storage than I actually am? My storage says I have 132 photos that's using up most of my storage; almost 3 GB. I have only 52 photos and 15 videos in my phone. It seems like it may be using storage from pictures I deleted, but apparently they're still using space? ? Has this happened to anyone else. I've taken my phone to an apple store, and I didn't get any answers.
- On the I cloud on the Iphone what does total storage and available storage mean? Basically it says total storage 5gb and availible storage 5 gb. Does that mean there's already 5 gb of files on the Icloud?
- IPhone storage full but iCloud storage not? I'm in the Navy and I'm going on deployment soon so, I'm racking up on stuff like movies and music so I won't be bored during deployment… I'm 3 seasons in on downloading stuff on Netflix and it says my storage is full… I deleted a lot of useless apps and music already and I downloaded a few more then it happened again… I see my iCloud storage is very empty but my phone storage is too full… How can I fix this.
- My iPhone has ran out of storage and I just deleted a lot of photos and videos and there's still no storage So I moved a whole lot of photos and videos to iCloud Drive and deleted them off the phone itself to clear space up but it still says there's no storage left. Please help me to know what's wrong and what to do so I can clear up space.
