Hi jdouk,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.
It appears you have been to the article describing the difference between iCloud and internal storage. Did you confirm this is internal storage?
Be sure and also see: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Please note:
"How iOS and iPadOS optimize storage
If your device is low on storage, it automatically frees up space while installing an app, updating iOS or iPadOS, downloading music, recording videos, and more.
To make more storage available, your device can remove some of your items, like streamed music and videos, files in iCloud Drive, and parts of apps that aren't needed. It also removes temporary files and clears the cache on your device. But your device only removes items that can be downloaded again or that aren't needed anymore."
If the issue continues, let us know more details. What is the symbol your are seeing? Where is it? How much iCloud storage do you have?
Have a fantastic day!
