iPhone storage is showing that WhatsApp is taking 160Gb space but I have deleted everything

Hello everyone,

I have been having a lot of issues with my WhatsApp lately. Keeps saying storage is full. In my iPhone storage it’s showing that the WhatsApp is taking 160Gb space but I have deleted everything and my in my WhatsApp storage there’s only 2Gb full. But there’s the yellow bar which is full and says apps and other items. I want to know how I can empty that yellow bar.


Thank you

I have exactly the same problem. What'sApp tells me 3.47GB, iPhone storage tells me 27.9GB. An unaccounted for 24GB difference is not trivial on a 64GB phone. That's nearly 40% of my storage that's gone missing, despite my taking all the right steps to manage the data. Apple, we need a solution urgently please.
