Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


you might not be able to update though without any storage space to do so.

My suggestion would be to see if that iCloud Photos status that is showing 1% can be resolved by plugging your iPhone in, making sure it's connected to WiFi and letting it sit locked overnight.


You can also reach out to Apple to see if they can help

Otherwise you might have to back up, restore to factory settings and either start from scratch or restore from a backup
