Q: Storage Problem

IPad Mini storage is at its capacity of 12.71gb. I deleted pictures and several apps to clear up some space. But, when I check the usage settings again, it won't budge. it says its full blah blah.. I delete quite a lot of things but still getting reminders that the storage is almost full. It's like its stuck or something but I don't know how to fix it. Please help I'm just 15.

Does does anyone know how to fix this? Or should I just send it to the Apple store and do some service?

THank you.

iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1.1

Hey materialqueen15,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. How storage space is reported and managed can vary depending on the type and amount of data you have on the device and how it was synced. If you continue to have full storage issues, you may find the information and steps in the following article helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Cheers,
- Brenden

Hi Brenden,

I'm having the same issue. I have an 128GB iPad mini 2. After updating to iOS 8.1.3, the iPad shows it only has 3.5GB available and when I plug it into my MBA, it shows I have 78.45GB free (which is true). Please help!

Thank you.

If you deleted photos from the Photos they may well have been moved to the Recently Deleted album. This album stores recently deleted photos for 30 days to allow you to recover them To clear up the space taken by those photos you must delete them from the Recently Deleted album.
