IPhone 7 storage

So lately my apps started slowing down or refusing to open so I checked my storage and deleted all those hidden recently deleted pictures/videos and even offloaded some apps. That freed up 2gb and I though it was good but for some reason, my storage seems to be mysteriously filling up because I started having issues again and saw that the storage level increased without me doing anything and

I honestly cant tell you how frustrating this! Can someone please offer some suggestions?

If I were you I would make sure all my Photos and Documents were imported to a computer or cloud service then completely take the phone back to factory status and add apps as required without restoring.

Back up first if you want but restoring junk back (social media and text history etc) is probably not the best plan.

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

I have asked for your rude remarks about Mr Cook to be removed.
