Storage not the same on computer for iPhone?
So I have the iPhone 5c (yes it's old) and I'm always getting notifications that my storage is full. If I go to my settings it shows me that I only have a few MB's left. However, whenever I plug my phone into the computer and open iTunes, it says that I still have entire GB's of space open. These can't both be right, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
IPhones build up a lot of useless cache over time, this is data that makes apps load up faster by storing certain data such as photos. Once your storage starts getting full, it should start deleting cache files however it doesn't always do this.
The best way to fix this is to create a backup and then restore from that backup. Cache files don't get backed up so they will be deleted and everything else will stay
They storage is being expressed in 2 different ways. One is what you have ACTUALLY saved. The other is what has been saved not only by you, but the phone's operating system, back-up frags, etc. Get Dr. Cleaner app by Trend Micro (free!). It will remove those bits and pieces and free up more space for you - until you get a newer phone with MORE storage.
- 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.
- What my iphone 4s storage says i have isn't the same as how much i actually used? When i go into my storage and usage in settings it says i have used 5.8 gb and if you look at all the apps i have and how much storage they add up to, it should only be about 3 gb.
- 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?
