Full storage on iPhone?

Apparently I have used up nearly all of my (pathetic) 12gb on my iPhone 5, which makes no sense to me since i have deleted nearly all my apps, have 40 pictures on my camera roll, and have deleted everything possible to free up more storage. How is this possible?

Go to settings/general/iPhone storage, in here it will tell you what's taking up space so you can remove it.

Settings > General > iPhone storage. There you'll find out what's taking up your memory. (iOS 11) Cheers

  • Why my iphone 5a says storage is almost full why I've almost nothing? So my iphone 5s says my storage is almost full while pictures is about 800! And I've no music no books and no big apps! This happened before And I tried deleting all pictures and most of the apps but nothing changed! So I had to format & update my phone then it worked… Now it happened again I can't delete my stuff because it's ridiculous! Why do I have to do this while my phone isn't really full:"( Now I have only 251 MB available:"
  • Why is my iphone's storage full? I have an iphone 5 that holds 13.5GB and my phones been telling me that its storage is full. When i went on my computer, my 5 apps only take up 522.6mb, my songs 314.8, and my songs 1.04gb. The last section labeled "other" takes up 11.55GB. What the heck is other? I have nothing else on my phone that i know of that takes up THAT much space. I've had to delete apps and photos just to get a few megabites back.
