Q: Storage keeps getting used up, why?

No matter how many things I delete, photos, apps, etc. my storage keeps getting used up.

When I plug into my computer and sync, it shows 1.4 GB left, but on my phone it's zero and I can't sync the latest update.

iPhone 4S, iOS 9.2.1

Omni DiskSweeper can show you the precise size and location of all your files. It will inventory your disk starting from the files that take up the most space. It can also give you a more accurate read of disk space than Finder or Storage Tab of About this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper.

Just Mac, I didn't notice you had iPhone in your specs. For iPhone you need to backup then restore to factory defaults.
