Hi,


Sorry to hear you are having issues with your device storage.


I would first recommend to update your iOS to 15.2, especially if you are running iOS 14.

That being said, I assume you also don't have enough storage available to update your device. The following resources explain how to manage device storage:



Ultimately, if the storage is almost full, and you have backed up your content and data, i would go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.


Once the device restarts with the iOS Setup Assistant, do not restore from an iCloud backup.

First, try to update your iPhone in Settings > General > Software Update.


Once the update completes, sign into your iCloud Settings as normal. Content from iCloud will manually transfer to the device once you sign in.


Hope this helps.
