FAQs

Why is my iPhone saying I don't have enough iCloud storage when I do? ›

When your iPhone displays the "Not Enough Storage" message despite having plenty of space, it is indicative of underlying issues within the device's storage management system. These issues can range from accumulated cache files to mismanagement of iCloud storage.

It claims that “Your iCloud storage might be full,” and tries to convince the reader to upgrade to 50 GB of storage. However, the e-mail isn't actually from Apple. The e-mail contains links that could potentially lead to phishing sites or other scams, malware, or other potentially harmful sites.

If you are seeing the new storage size, and it is still showing as full, it could be an issue with an overwhelming amount of data on your device. For instance, you have 60+GB of photos, and have upgraded to the 50GB account, and have iCloud photos turned on.

Your iCloud storage is full because you have exceeded the 5 GB of free storage or reached the limit of your paid plan. This happens when you store too many photos, files, backups, and other data in iCloud.

If you're getting low on storage in iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later, you can go to Recommended for You in your iCloud settings and check if there are photos, large files, or backups that you might not need anymore and can delete.

The key takeaway: iCloud stores your data, but it doesn't remove it from your device by default. Downloaded movies, music you haven't streamed in ages, and those "just-in-case" apps can silently gobble up space.

Is there a free version of iCloud? Yes. The first time you sign in to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac with your Apple ID, you'll get 5GB of free iCloud storage. This allows you to back up your data and keep your personal information in sync across your devices and at iCloud.com.

Note: Mail stored in iCloud counts toward your iCloud storage. If you run out of iCloud storage space, you won't be able to receive new emails at your iCloud Mail address until you make more storage space available.

Why does it say not enough storage when I have enough? ›

Usually, an Android app uses three sets of storage, for the app itself, the app's data files, and the app's cache. Usually, the application cache takes up a large part of the space. In this case, emptying your app cache is a useful way to fix the Android insufficient storage error.

However, if you have enabled iCloud Photos (previously known as iCloud Photo Library), deleting a photo from your iPhone will also remove it from iCloud and all other devices connected to your iCloud account. This ensures that your photos are synced across all your devices.

iCloud Backup: If you have iCloud Backup enabled, your device may be backing up other data like app data, device settings, and messages. Even if you delete photos, the backup might include other data that takes up space.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud. The bar graph shows your overall storage usage.

Why does my device show a "Not Enough iCloud Storage" message even though I have space available? This can happen due to various reasons, such as syncing issues, temporary storage glitches, or outdated iCloud status.

The key takeaway: iCloud stores your data, but it doesn't remove it from your device by default. Downloaded movies, music you haven't streamed in ages, and those "just-in-case" apps can silently gobble up space.
