Troubleshooting Returning Deleted Items:


Try Removing Of Data from the iPhone itself...


Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:

What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

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


And...



B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

And...


C. "Other" being the Culprit:
