Why does my Iphone have no storage?

Okay so i have almost nothing on my phone and i have 8 GB. I just deleted all of my pictures which were only like 25, and i have 32 contacts. I also only have around 275 songs and two apps, and for some reason my phone says i have a capacity of 6.3 GB and i have 697 MB left… Does anybody know why this is?

I suggest a full restore.

Music takes up a HUGE part of the storage. Also, even though you only have two apps, they might still take up a good amout of storage. I only have 141 songs on my phone and it takes up 959 MB of my 8 GB. Another thing that you have to remember is that a lot of the apps that you can't delete take up storage, along with the system software itself. If you have an IPhone then you can go to settings>general>usage and you can see which apps use the most storage and how much storage you've used. With the music what I've started doing is using my iPod as my music device, so I have more room on my phone for games, pictures and such. Another thing you could do is buy more iCloud storage if your able to and that will expand your amount of storage you have. For an extra 10GB it's $20 a year, $40 per year for an extra 20GB, and $50 a year for an extra 100GB.

I did the full restore and got back 2.6 gigabytes! I have a 32 GB 5s

  • Why does my iTunes have more storage than my iPhone? I'm trying to download iOS7 on my iPhone 4 8gb but it said I needed 2.9gb to download it. I cleared 2.66gb on my itunes on my computer but on my phone it says i only have 2.7 and i have almost everything gone! No pictures, less than 230 songs and only 3 apps! Why isn't my storage capacity the same on both devices?
  • Why does my iPhone suddenly have no storage? A couple of weeks ago I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.In order to make the update, I had to delete about half of my apps in order to have enough storage. Now, my phone is refusing to backup to my iCloud automatically, once again claiming that there's not enough storage, which it has always done without a problem. I've deleted over 100 photos, and I really don't want to delete more photos or apps. I didn't have this issue before the software update - why now?
  • Why does my iPhone say that I have no storage space? I deleted so many apps and it still says that I have no space. I can't take pictures, download apps, nothing. I've tried turning it off and on and it says the same thing. What can I do to fix it? I'm trying to do everything I can't to restore it.
  • Why does my iphone say i have too much storage? I can't take photos or download any apps. I have deleted all my apps, messages, and over 100 photos. It will not let me even update to IOS 7 because it says there's not enough storage. I mean i literally have nothing left on my phone. Do i have to go through icloud? Its a 4s I HAVE DELETED EVERY APP AND OVER 100 PHOTOS AND MUSIC. OK? Thanks mother f****. Tried that. Doesn't work. Anything else?
