iMovie wont re-install

I’d almost filled up my storage and was emptying it out so I could get the latest update (15.7.3) and I offloaded iMovie. I now want to reinstall it so I can save all my projects and delete it to give me more room, but it won’t reinstall and keeps failing

Im on a IPhone SE first gen that is on IOS 15.7.2

Hello,

You have to free up some local storage so that you have somewhere around 10% free. Otherwise you'll continue to have issues:

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

Note: When you delete photos and videos, they also have to be deleted from album Recently Deleted to truly free up storage.

Note2: be careful when deleting apps. Many times their related data is deleted along with them.

Good luck.
