Can't update to watchOS 7.2

I keep getting a message telling me I need 2.7 Gb free to install, and I only have 2.6 Gb free.

I have deleted every app I can delete.

I have no music, and no photos on the watch.

I have deleted website data.

I have powered it off, and back on again.

All to no avail.


So how do I get that extra free space when there is no physical way to do so?

Thanks.

Unpair your Apple Watch via the Watch app on your iPhone.

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch,this deletes temporary and corrupted files

and also clears the system cache freeing up a surprisingly large amount of storage space.And without any loss of data.
