Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:


Clear Internal Space:

Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:

What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

Also...



B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

Also..


C. Clear "Other":

Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips.

Hello ~ Which “space” are you needing? You can purchase more iCloud space but you cannot expand the device space on your iPhone 7 Plus. Take a look here:

  1. To clear Other will require restoring the iPhone, best to first check if it is unwieldy large.
  2. Other does NOT "basically contains unnecessary files..."
  3. Caches in Other are not used for remembrance of application use.
  4. "as it would be performs through use of computer" doesn't mean anything.
  5. Some data stored are not just for ease of use and it is very unusual over time for them to grow so large that they would eat up an inordinate amount of space.


I have suggested more than once that the Littles should drop it or rewrite it.
