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.

You can only toss certain things to your iCloud, I believe. You can purchase more iCloud space, but I'm not sure what you can store there. You'll have to read the agreement. This is why I want to switch to a Samsung Galaxy. I don't like being limited to s certain size and like to swap out my storage with different genres.

You can only put personal files into the iCloud such as photos, personal videos etc. You can't store apps or full movies/TV shows into iCloud. Maybe go through your photos app and delete thing you don't need, you can even transfer them to the cloud so you still have them but not on your device.

ICloud storage is internet based storage, & also for specific things like iPhone backups. You'd just have to figure out if you would sacrifice more stuff to make space for the Netflix stuff.
