I would make a full backup of your device, then restore it to factory settings, and, at the end, set it up as new. This operation will install a fresh copy of iOS. Follow these steps:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Test it for a while and check your iPhone Storage.

Then restore it from your previously made backup:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Thanks a lot panchososa694 for ur reply. The only issue is my backup. If I restore my backup, then at that moment I am back tobsquare one.


What matters to me the most is my whatsApp chats. I am willing to lose all my data but my whatsApp conversation.


How can I can backup whatsApp only through iTunes? I cannot do it in iCloud because of the size.


Plz help me in resolving this issue!!
