IPhone could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full.

I forgot my passcode. I'm trying to restore my iphone7 to factory settings. The error message:

iPhone could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. Removing files and emptying the recycle bin should free up additional resources.

iPhone 8 Plus restore failed - iPhone unavailable Quick recap: iPhone8 Plus, about 1 year ago, I cracked my screen, my home button stopped working, and didn't want to deal with the repair. I ended upgrading to an iPhone 12. Today I attempted to log on to my iPhone8 but apparently, I forgot my passcode. After 4 failed attempts at trying to unlock my iPhone, I gave up and restored it using iTunes. I have never used iTunes before (as my previous restores have been thru iCloud) but I followed the instructions, and it was going smoothly. Upon finishing the restore my phone restarted and a message said, "iPhone unavailable, try again in 8hrs" Why did it do that? Did I do something wrong? -Lee

That is referring to the disk on the PC or Mac you are using. Move some stuff to another disk then try again.
