I have a 6s. Installed iOS 13 just fine. After updating apps I am now out of space. Before updating apps I had around 3/4 of space left. Its a 64gb phone with as few apps as I can get away with.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Mark Whisner.
The amount listed as "Other" is a cache consisting largely of website data and media files so that you can go back to them and use them right away without having to wait for download. But if overall space is an issue, you can try this:
Go to Settings > Safari and scroll all the way to the bottom where you'll see an option called Advanced. Tap that and you'll see an option at the top of the display called Website Data. Tap that, and you'll see a list of sites that are using at least some of that Other space as a cache. Swiping left on any one of them gives you the ability to selectively delete cached data without clearing all history from your device.
Another option is to go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Let the list of apps populate and you'll see each app on your device listed along with how much space they take up as well as the date of the last time they were opened. If there are apps that you never or rarely use, you can either offload them or delete them entirely. One advantage to the Offload option is that it deletes the app itself but not the app data. This way, if you need the app again in the future, you can re-download it and all of the data from the last time you used it will still be available.
Cheers.

Hello Mark Whisner and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I see you're facing some challenges with storage on your iPhone 6S.
Start with the tips here:
How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Under both iOS 12 and 13, that iPhone Storage page will offer tips for maximizing storage on your device. Can you let me know what is says for 'System'?
Cheers.
System is 7.83 gb
Other is 5.26 gb
I've tried all of those suggestions. Not sure where "system" is.
I was at around 30gb until I updated app after installing ios13
Thank you for responding
Mark
Hi Mark Whisner.
Brilliant! So glad to hear you got it sorted.
Cheers.
Hi Mark Whisner.
Go to Settings > General > iPhone storage and wait for the list of apps to populate. It may take a minute or two if it's the first time you've done it. Then, scroll all the way to the very bottom and you'll see a listing for System and another for Other. What are the numbers for both of those?
Cheers.
Awesome. Thank you so much for the info.
I have 50gb out of 64 now.
