7 steps to solve iPhone storage full but not cloud

If your iPhone storage is full but your iCloud storage is not, you can follow these steps to free up space on your iPhone:

1. Offload Unused Apps: Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Enable the “Offload Unused Apps” option. This will remove unused app data from your iPhone while keeping the app icon on your home screen. You can always re-download the app from the App Store if needed.
2. Review and Delete Apps: In the iPhone Storage settings, you will see a list of apps sorted by the amount of storage they consume. Review the apps and delete those that you no longer need or use. Tap on an app to see more details and options for deleting it.
3. Clear Safari Cache: Open the Settings app, go to Safari, and choose “Clear History and Website Data.” This will remove the cache, cookies, and browsing history, freeing up some storage space.
4. Delete Large or Unused Media: Open the Photos app and review your photo and video library. Delete any unnecessary or duplicate media files. You can also use third-party apps to identify and delete large files or videos that are taking up significant space.
5. Manage Message Attachments: In the Messages app, you can manually review and delete message threads that contain large attachments like photos, videos, or documents. This can help free up storage space.
6. Offload Music and Podcasts: If you use the Apple Music or Podcasts app, you can enable the “Optimize Storage” option in their respective settings. This will automatically remove downloaded music or podcasts that you haven’t listened to in a while.
7. Delete Unnecessary Files: Use file management apps or the “Files” app on your iPhone to locate and delete unnecessary files, such as downloaded documents or temporary files.

By following these steps, you should be able to free up space on your iPhone and reduce the storage usage. Remember to regularly review and manage your storage to prevent it from getting full in the future.
