How to fix iPhone storage keeps going back to full after deleting?

Do you have such an experience? When iPhone storage space is low, we delete a lot of iPhone storage, such as deleting photos and videos from the recently deleted album, clearing Safari history and website data, and so on, but a few days later the iPhone storage is back to full again. It's getting frustrating that it doesn't work after you delete the iPhone space. How to solve this problem? This article will guide you to fix it with the following solutions.

 

1. Update your iOS version on the device

 

The Apple documentation states that there is a problem with iOS 13 might prevent the system from freeing up storage for you. To fix this issue, please update your iPhone or iPad to iOS or iPadOS 13.6.1 or later. Go to iPhone Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install

 

2. Turn off iCloud Drive

 

If you have an iCloud drive turned on on your iPhone or iPad, the iCloud drive may download many other iCloud data from your Mac and other iOS devices that have been uploaded because iCloud syncs. They takes up the iPhone disk space. Go to iPhone Settings -> Apple ID -> iCloud -> turn off iCloud Drive.

3. Reset iOS device and restore

 

First backup your iPhone or iPhone with iCloud or iTunes(Finder) on the computer. Then Go to iPhone Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. And then restore the backup during setting up your iPhone and iPad process.

But some iPhone users report that even if they erase all iPhone content and restore from the backup, the iPhone storage space gets full again after a few days because of iPhone Other storage data.

 

4. Clear Other data with iPhone Cleaner

 

The iPhone divides all iPhone data into some of the primary data types, such as Photos, Contacts, Apps, Message, etc. Other data that does not belong to these primary data types is collectively referred to as Other data. Different iPhones have different other data because of different usage. Next we use iPhone Cleaner to remove iPhone other storage data.

Download and install iPhone Cleaner on the computer, connect your iPhone device with the computer.
