How to free up iPhone 11 storage space?

When you delete photos, they are still stored in Recently Deleted for 30 days. So, you'll have to wait for 30 days to recover the storage space or go into Recently Deleted and manually delete the photos to regain storage space within the next few hours.

When you delete emails, they are still stored in the Trash until you manually delete everything from the Trash.

Clear the System Data:

See my User Tip: How to Clear "System Data" in your iPhone's Storage: User Tip. System Data is caches. These are created by apps as they are used for remembrance of usage, resulting in faster opening and efficiency. This is performed through a Mac or PC —not the iPhone itself.
