iPhone storage stays full after deleting lots of data
Starting about 4-6 weeks ago my IPhone 8 Plus began the behavior of allowing me to use less and less of the 128 Gb storage space. It reached max. capacity and required me to delete files to free up space. I did so. I deleted a couple videos I recorded that were a ridiculous 3+ gb in size though they were not even 15 minutes in duration and 720p @ 30hz. So I had 7 or 8 gb of space free and the next day it says that I am out of storage space again and so I can’t even take a picture without deleting more files. I deleted another 2gb video and I noticed that it only freed up 300mb of space. So I stopped deleting any more of my videos or photos because now I don’t have a handful of videos and photos on my phone anymore but I still can’t use the camera or install new apps. I also can’t use many of my apps because they have been removed automatically to the cloud due to lack of storage
space. Help would be appreciated because this is annoying. And one last thing, I can’t move any videos to my laptop unless they are very short and small in size because it will fail the transfer and say that the phone became unresponsive. If I use EaseUS Mobimover I can move photos and videos but only on my newer laptop. My previous laptop doesn’t detect my iPhone anymore even in Mobimover which had been able to before about 6 months ago.
