What is your storage on this iPhone? At Settings>General>iPhone Storage, my phone says 50.5 GB of 128 GB used. What does yours say? Do you have more than 10% free storage on your iPhone?
Many operations use the iPhone's free space to move files around. If you run out of space, then those operations, even safety checks, may not be able to be completed, and, ironically, that can mean that even deleting doesn't work.
