Clearing Space on an iPhone:

Internal storage space cannot be upgraded on an iPhone. Many system resources may be being used by unnecessary items. So, you need more internal storage space. Consider performing the following...


A. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

B. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:
