Hello,

See these links to free up local storage:

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch 

How to clear storage and Other 

Note: deleted photos are not necessarily deleted from the phone.  You may have to go to Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted and delete them from there to truly free up storage.

Then restart your phone. 

Good luck.
