iPhone storage full

Greetings, I have a problematic issue here, I just bought space from 5GB to 200GB but it’s really not working, my device storage is 32GB, I’m usually used to buying space and do backups easily and updating my software easily too because the space I bought just syncs in, but this time, I bought space, updated my software and did backups but still it states “iPhone storage full” the space that I bought just won’t sync in, I deleted most of my apps but still, please help I don’t know what to do know?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

You can't increase the space on your iPhone. What you have bought is an iCloud+ plan for space on Apple's servers. You can't use iCloud space to increase the space available on your device(s).

See What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? - Apple Support for an explanation.
