IOS – Cannot take photos, message pops up that says “Not enough storage space”

cameraicloudiosphotosstorage

I am trying to take a picture and my iPhone 4s says there is not enough storage space and to go to settings.

I went into setting and into iCloud and deleted the prior backpack to free up space and I now I have 5.0 GB. I also deleted all my rash in my emails, and photos I had via text, and I also deleted all photos from the camera roll. It still says not enough room.

This isn't referring to storage on iCloud but on your device itself.

  1. Go to Settings > General > Usage

  2. Under Storage (which is above iCloud) you will get a list of all the apps by size. If there is one you don't use you can delete it to get space to take a picture. If you don't see a list of apps, your phone is probably processing through and you will see a spinning indicator until it finishes:
