Roughly 50GB is a bit much for just 95 photos and 7 videos. What is the format of your videos and your photos?

Image files can be huge, if you are shooting RAW or are using third party apps to adjust the photos. External editors may be saving the adjustments back as huge TIFF files. And even five minutes of video can result in very large video files, if you are using 4k or 60fps.

You may want to transfer your photos and videos to a computer, so you can check the size of the individual image files and video files. If they are very large, convert them on your computer to smaller, more compressed files, that are sufficient to be used on an iPhone. Also consider to change the Camera Settings to record your photos and videos at the best quality that you need on your computer, but will not fill the storage of your iPhone.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Try Removing Data from the iPhone itself...

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support


So, what to do...
