Hi, please restart your iPhone. Then see the iPhone storage has been updated.


also please check your ‘recently deleted’ album if the photos you’ve deleted are still on that folder.


open photos> tap albums > scroll up then tap on Recently Deleted> try to empty those pictures and videos

Hey thanks for the screenshots. Now we found the real issue. ‘Others’ taken most of your storage space.


These steps might help you. (Light troubleshooting steps for now) —if that didn’t help, next would be hard reset your iphone. But it would be okay because you have enough iCloud storage to backup your iPhone! 😊
