If you have ONLY 6 GB that may not be enough. To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:
If you can't meet all of them you can still update using your computer.

Thanks for your message. Still having the problem. I have 6BG of available space which should be plenty for the update (662 MB). My phone is on the list of compatible devices. I think the same problem happened when I tried downloading 15.7. After a few days the install was successful.
The storage shows that I'm now using 30 GB out of 64 GB. Before I deleted the podcasts and some apps I was using around 57 GB. I'm embarrassed to say there were a lot of podcasts that I hadn't listened to. It's probably time to unsubscribe from some of them. I've also discovered the "remove older downloads" feature that should be useful in the future.
Hello again ~ See *Lawrence Finch’s* excellent reply. Good luck.

Thank you very much for your answer. I wasn't aware of these requirements.
I chose the easiest option and freed up space by deleting a lot of old downloaded podcasts. It worked and I was able to update the software. Thanks again for your help.

Great, glad you resolved it. How much space to you have to free up?
Hello ~ Glad you are updated and enjoy.
