IPhone says storage full, I have 20-25GB left, I can't upload 2 40min long vids to my laptop bc it says low phone storage. How do I fix?

Trash might be full of stuff, clean out. Might let you operate.
Take the "vids" off phone, upload directly to the computer.

Check if these videos are being uploaded to your iCloud. If so that would be the issue. If not, try moving photos and other videos to your iCloud and see from there. If that doesn't work, just move your videos to your iCloud and download them to your computer from there.
Afterwards you can check out your storage and see if there's anything wrong. Worst case scenario, you'll need to perform a hard reset via iTunes.

  • Why does my 16GB iphone only have 13.25GB capacity? I think it's kind of strange that my 16GB iPhone only has a memory capacity of 13.25GB. Does anybody know why this is? I assume it's because that's how much memory is left after the operating system is installed, but I think it's rather bizarre to advertise it as 16GB when that's not what you'll actually be able to use.
  • My phone says storage is almost full but it's not? My iPhone SE keeps telling me that my storage is almost full but when I look in settings I have over a GB of space left. And I have 3.5 GB on my cloud. Any idea why my phone is doing this and how I can fix it?

  • IPhone says low on memory storage again? Phone constantly saying I've ran out of memory and it stops my apps from working normally.
