How do o free up space on my Apple Watch?

My watch will not allow me to install the update due to needing more space. I hardly have anything installed on my watch. Any ideas how to free up space?

To Free-Up Storage on Your Watch:

For songs, see the "Remove music from Apple Watch" section in:

Add music to Apple Watch - Apple Support

and for pictures, see the "Limit photo storage on Apple Watch section in:

Choose a photo album and manage storage on Apple Watch - Apple Support

Also, try unpairing and pairing your watch again and restoring from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
