My phone says that my storage is full, but when I view my storage more than half of my storage is available.

Hey RSWStull,

I'm not really sure what to do next, maybe you can contact apple or something because according to About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Support, if you do update your iOS to the latest version, this bug should be fixed.

"My phone says 'iPhone storage full' but when I view my device storage it’s more than half available. I have tons of iCloud storage still available as well. How do I get rid of this error?"

Try Removing 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. 

So, what to do:

Clear Space:

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:

• Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
• Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.
• Go Here: Clear the History and Cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - Apple Support

And...

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

And...

C. "Other" being the Culprit:

Use my User Tip:The storage named "Other"(or "System Data") is a grey bar seen in storage. How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip

Hey RSWStull,

This is probably a system bug, what you can try is to reboot your device or the best thing to do is to upgrade your IOS to the latest version.
