Screen frozen on apple logo- not enough storage to update

This morning I powered off my phone to power it on again because it was being a little slow and needed a restart. Once I tried to turn it back on, my screen was frozen with the apple logo on the screen.

I did some research, and I connected my phone to my laptop to enter recovery mode. I tried to update my phone, but it says that I do not have sufficient storage to do so. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to do a factory reset and erase everything on my phone. Please help!

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

Hello,

If you can get it going, see this to free up some storage:

If you have to do a factory reset, you can restore from a backup:

Good luck.
