iPhone 7 says storage is full

My iPhone 7 is running very hot.

recently acting up.

says storage is full.

I really am a dinosaur in the tech world. I have tried to remove videos and pictures. Still full. Mostly light grey data?

my apps open and then abruptly close. Any help?

thanks.

  1. Total storage remains same through out life span of the iPhone
  2. Storage can not be enhanced
  3. You may take back up on Mac or PC using iTunes without iCloud
