Memory almost full (possible virus)

Since a month ago I'm experiencing some space memory issues. All a time there is a Memory is almost full advertisement, and if I removed an application for recovering some memory in my IPad it takes all this memory and again the IPad tells me is running out of memory.

I Cleaned up all the contents, remove cookies and all recomendations you have, but always it said I'm running out of memory and the message is Memory is almost full. there is not enough space for downloading anything and when I free some space something take this space and occupied it telling me Memory is almost full.

Could you please help me soon to fix it...

Thanks so much and regards

Hi

Go to settings - iCloud back up now

Then restore your ipad back to factory settings this will get rid of any bugs.

Set back up over your WiFi use same apple ID & iCloud back up .

To get your apps/ data back .

I do this to all my apple devices if they are having problems .

Cheers

Have you tried checking the storage usage under Settings > Storage?

I have the same problem on my 128 Gb iPhone. I deleted more than 4 Gb of data from my phone yesterday and today I received a message that no storage available.

I also added up all the data listed in the "storage setting" and I cannot get anything close to 100Gb.

Anyone can help?

I believe you are mixing things up here. I believe that the warning which you see is not about the storage space on your iPhone, but about the storage space on your iCloud, to which your iPhone is trying to backup your personal data and such. If you have say 50 GB of photos on your iPhone and you have selected to backup your photos to iCloud, but your iCloud contains only 15 GB of storage space for example, then you will get a message that there is not enough storage space available. Either disable the feature to backup certain personal data to iCloud, for example disable the backup of your photos but keep the other items selected for backup, or purchase more storage space on iCloud. Personally, I only backup some application data to iCloud. I backup my photos and videos to my computer and not to iCloud.
