She has clean the storage usage with deleted some apps and also deleted many picture with just 40 photo inside. However, the storage usage still showing it has used 10.9 GB and available only 713MB.

    Hello ckl176,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

     

    I see that you are having issues in clearing enough space to take pictures on your iPhone. The following articles provide information on clearing space on your iPhone. 

    Check your storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

    The following is also useful for what you are wanting to do:

    Delete content manually

    If there isn't enough space to download and install an update, iOS 9 tries to make more space. It temporarily removes some downloadable parts of installed apps. You shouldn't need to remove or relocate any content. But in some cases, it's necessary to manually delete some content.

    In the Usage Settings menu, you can see how much space your apps use and delete the ones you don't need. You can always re-download your purchased apps or other content later. Follow these steps:

    1. Tap Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage.
    2. Select any app to see how much space it uses, and tap Delete App to remove it. Some apps, such as Music and Videos, let you delete parts of their documents and data.
    3. Install the iOS update again. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.

    You can also reduce the size of your Photo library by turning on iCloud Photo Library and Optimizing your device storage. Learn more about app storage space and content.

    Best regards.
