Software update storage space

Hi,

I am trying to free up space to install the latest apple watch Software update. Under settings it says there are 25 songs. When I go to Music there are no songs listed there, so nothing to delete. Where are these songs and how do I delete them?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

Is there an amount of music you can transfer to an Apple Watch? I have just received my new 32 Gb iwatch 8 and am wondering if there is a limit on the amount of music it can take. I appear to have missing tracks in albums and playlists even after repeated synchs on battery charge. in settings it says I have used 5Gb with 25Gb available. have I reached my limit. I hope not thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Out of Media Storage - When I am not... I went to go for a run today with my Apple Watch to play music. Instead of playing, the watch zipped through all the songs in my playlist on the display. Apparently my music was removed from my watch and when I checked the Watch App on my iPhone I get an "Out of Media Storage Space." However, I have over 25GB still free and only 642 MB of which is Music App documents & data (see attached screenshots). I tried deleting the selected playlists from the watch app and putting them back, erasing and putting back all the music on my iPhone, and restarting both the watch and iPhone. The music was on the watch 5 days ago when I ran, I'm not sure why the watch suddenly decided that it was full and dumped it all. As , I have spent far too much time trying to fix an Apple glitch. Can anyone help?

Try this;

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

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch again,this usually frees up

enough storage space to update your watch.And without any loss of data.
