Running out of space on my iPhone

I am so hating my iPhone right now - most of my 32 g memory is being used up by Data & Documents, which means my memory is constantly maxed out. As a result apps are being offloaded frequently and a hardly ever have enough memory for messages, photos and pretty much anything else. What can I do to sort this out? And please don’t say delete some photos and apps, as that doesn’t change anything.

A 32GB phone should only have 6 to 8 GB of system files unless you have enormous social media history.

Connect your phone to a computer with iTunes and

  1. Backup
  2. Restore as new
  3. Restore from backup

That should clean it up.
