no matter how many apps, photos or message attachments I delete from my phone (64 GB), it doesn’t give me more space. I’m down to only the essential apps and everything else is offloaded. How do I fix this practically? I have plenty of iCloud storage (2TB) . So how can I be sure I don’t lose all my pictures if I delete everything off of my phone ?
iPhone 12, iOS 15

Is there anyway to save photos to my iCloud but remove them from the phone ? Sounds like I still just have to delete everything but that isn’t my goal.
I have 2 TB of iCloud storage already .
can you save to your iCloud while preserving space on your phone at all ?
