iPhone storage

I have an old iPhone 7 with only 32 GB memory. Can’t update software because 30.5 of 32 GB full, however I’ve dumped just about everything and still reading same message and I can find where the used space is being allocated. Any suggestions? Please and thank you!

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14

- "If your device is low on storage, it automatically frees up space while installing an app, updating iOS or iPadOS, downloading music, recording videos, and more.


To make more storage available, your device can remove some of your items, like streamed music and videos, files in iCloud Drive, and parts of apps that aren't needed. It also removes temporary files and clears the cache on your device. But your device only removes items that can be downloaded again or that aren't needed anymore.
