iPhone 5 "Not Enough Space" Problem Solved, Here's How I Did It!

Help! My iPhone 5 has no more enough space to store new pictures or download new applications. There must be something wrong with the "usage space" on my iPhone. What should I do? 

You actually don't have to do anything on your iPhone. I just found out lately how to do it. For months, I cannot take pictures nor download applications on my iPhone 5s because it always says “not enough space” or something like that. Every time I go to Usage, it shows that all 13G of my storage has been used even if I only have less than a hundred photos (621MB) and a host of files and apps that only totaled about 2G.

I’ve already done the “network reset” and all the other resets to no avail. I have been to a lot of sites that explains how to do it, including the instruction to delete the “deleted files” on my photos but the problem was that I don’t have the Deleted Photos folders.

And then, viola! From only 300MB free space and 13G of used space on my iPhone 5s, it now shows 11.2G of free space and only 2G used.

Here’s what I did:

  1. I downloaded iTunes on my desktop PC. You can download iTunes from the official Apple website
  2. Connected my iPhone to my PC using the USB cable and then sync my phone to iTunes, which was already installed on my PC.
  3. That was all that it took for my phone’s storage space go from only 300M of free space to 11.2G!
I’m not actually a technical writer so pardon me if this post is not as descriptive as I wanted it to be but I hope you got the point. Simply sync your iPhone to iTunes on your PC. All of my photos, apps and files remained on my iPhone and I got more than 10G of free space!
