iWatch series 3- shows storage full- but no photos/music

My iWatch indicates it’s storage is full (at 4.7Gb) however only 2 photos, no music /podcasts or audible books, 7 app’s comprising abt 450 Mb of memory usage. I did hv problems with recent updates - could there be failed update downloads consuming memory ? Please advise. Thanks & stay safe.

That might be possible. The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
