Hello SilentPickle,
It sounds like you are unable to restore from a backup you had made in iTunes due to this error message that there is not enough space. I would use the information in the following article to help troubleshoot this issue, as it mentions this error:
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes

Copy your backup
Copy a recent backup and save it to your desktop or an external hard drive. You can find your backup in these folders:
Operating system Location Mac OS ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
To find the ~/Library folder on OS X Lion v10.7 or later, hold the Option key and choose Go > Library.
Update your software
- Get the latest version of iTunes for your computer. If you see a message that says you can't contact the software update server, follow these steps for Mac OS X or Windows.
- Install updates for your Mac. If you use a PC, you can get PC software updates from the Microsoft website.
- Install updates for your iOS software.
Restart your computer and your iOS device
After you restart your computer and iOS device, try to back up again.
Unplug your other USB devices
Keep only your iOS device, keyboard, and mouse plugged in. You need to plug your device directly into the computer.
There are additional steps to try if these do not resolve the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
