The iOS 13.6.1 update addresses some files that take up room that your phone should not need anymore. Try updating your phone to see if maybe some space will clear up!

  


"iOS 13.6.1

 

iOS 13.6.1 includes bug fixes for your iPhone.

  • Addresses an issue where unneeded system data files might not be automatically deleted when available storage is low
  • Fixes a thermal management issue that caused some displays to exhibit a green tint
  • Fixes an issue where Exposure Notifications could be disabled for some users
