Hi Friskymi,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Based on the title of your post, it looks like you would like to know how to make space on your iPhone via iTunes. I can understand the need to make space on your iPhone if you are running low. I can help you with this.
First thing you'll want to do is connect the iPhone to your computer and open iTunes. Use the article Check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch , specifically, this section:
Once you've identified exactly what is taking up storage space on the iPhone, then you can proceed to delete items that you no longer need.
Let us know if this helps resolve your issue.
Have an amazing day!

Use iTunes to check the storage on your iOS device
- Open iTunes on your computer.
- Connect your device to your computer.
- In iTunes, select your device. You'll see a bar that shows how much storage your iOS content uses, divided by content type.
- Move your mouse over a content type, like Other or Apps, to find more information:
Here is a list of the types of content on your iOS device, and what each type includes:
- Audio: Songs, audio podcasts, audiobooks, voice memos, and ringtones
- Video: Movies, music videos, and TV shows
- Photos: Camera Roll content, Photo Stream, and Photo Library
- Apps: Installed apps. The content of the apps is listed under Documents & Data.
- Books: iBooks books, audio books, and PDF files
- Documents & Data: Safari Offline Reading List, files stored within installed apps, and app content like contacts, calendars, messages, and emails (and their attachments)
- Other: Settings, Siri voices, system data, and cached files
About cached files in "Other" iOS storage
Cached files are created when streaming or viewing content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your iOS device so you can quickly access it again. iTunes categorizes cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos.
Your iOS device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on an iOS device differs from what you see in iTunes
Since iTunes categorizes cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your iOS device
Your iOS device automatically deletes cached files and temporary files when it needs more space. You don't need to delete them yourself.
Once you've identified exactly what is taking up storage space on the iPhone, then you can proceed to delete items that you no longer need.
Let us know if this helps resolve your issue.
Have an amazing day!
