IPhone 4 not enough storage/deleted apps

My daughter has an iPhone 4. It's not allowing her to download any applications now because it's telling her that there is not enough storage. When that's not true. She only has very few apps on the phone. She also woke up this morning to find that a few of the apps that she does have, have been deleted. I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Hi MAIAHSDAD,
If your daughter's iPhone 4 appears to be too full to download anything new, I would see if the steps in this article help resolve that:

  • HT1766 Why can't I use my camera on my iPhone 5, nor am I able to update an app, with my iPhone claiming that there is not enough storage, even though I paid for mor storage, and my phone claims I still have plenty storage... I guess i bought a$500doorsto

    Why does my iPhone 5 keep saying "cannot download" "There is not enough storage to download 'Facebook'. (Btw, I already have fb on my iphone 5, just trying to update it). You can manage your storage in Settings... Well, in settings, I have plenty of storage left that I bought... called iCloud! What's up with this piece of $500 junk I bought from apple, that it won't allow me to record memorable moments in my life!!! Should I go back to android, which lets me record hours of video/audio/pictures, without ever "CHARGING ME EXTRA", never even a dime!!! What a waste of time, energy, resources, etc. I miss Steve Jobs... He wouldn't have screwed his customers over like this!

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much available local storage you have available. You can also see what apps are taking up the most room.
    You say that you paid for more iCloud storage. That's for back ups. You can't download apps to it or steam media from it. In order to take pictures you have to have space on the phone itself.
    Best of luck.

  • HT4623 I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete the udate because it said an error occurred. Then it said I needed to restore my phone and when I try to it wont let me restore my back up because it says there's not enough storag

    I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete because it said there was an error. It then gave me a message that I needed to restore my phone. When I tried to restore my backup it says it cannot be completed because there is not enough storage. I cant delete anything to make more storage because my phone is not usable because it wont restore. What do I do?

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • HT4623 I couldn't download the new software to my ipad or iphone because not enough storage so I paid the $20 for additional storage.  The purchase went thru and both phone and ipad are showing 15 GB of storage but I am still getting the message

    I couldn't download the new software onto my iPad or iphone because I didn't have enough storage.  I paid the $20 for additional storage.  Both devices are showing 15 GB of storage but both are still saying that I don't have enough storage available for the new download (3.3 GB req'd)  What else can I do?

    Delete some apps or stuff off your devices. The 'not enough storage' doesn't refer to iCloud space but space on your device.
    If you have a bunch of downloaded music from iTunes, delete it to make room, you can always redownload it after the update. If you have movies, I'd go for them first since video takes up tons more room than audio (delete less movies is the same space as lots of music)
    If you have apps you don't use, you can delete those, as long as you don't mind losing any data associated with them.

  • Why is my iphone 4 saying not enough storage available?

    Hello, when ios 7 came out I could not download it because I didn't have enough storage so I did not stress it. The next week I plugged my iphone in my laptop and it downloaded ios 7 and ever since then my iphone 4 will not let me take pictures, download apps, nothing and it keeps popping up not enough storage available, you can either buy more or delete some. So I deleted A LOT of my apps and pictures and contacts but still even with four apps on my phone it won't let me do anything. Does anyone know why? And I do not want to buy more storage because I am going to upgrade my phone this summer but still its very annoying, can anyone help me please? And thank you !!!

    That's iCloud storage that it's talking about
    Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup.
    Odds are what you see here will show a very small amount as "Available."
    See here to learn about managing your iCloud storage.

  • Deleted all data still says NOT enough storage for Icloud back up

    I have deleted  from my two devices (Iphone 4s and Mini Ipad) all my pictures , videos, emails and notes ( I dont store music)  and I still get the not enough storage on icloud. I dont understand, if i don't have anything in my phone or Ipad why I keep on getting this message. I havent been able to delete apps though.  I dont know what I am doing wrong. What can be occupying space if I have deleted everything.
    Thank you.

    It's iCloud you don't have enough storage on, not the phone.
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage > Manage...... on your iOS device. Or System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...... on a Mac.
    You have 3 options......
    Purchase more iCloud storage.
    Delete data or back ups that are being stored in iCloud already.
    Turn off items to be included in the next back up to reduce its size.

  • My iPhone says "Not Enough Storage"

    My iPhone says "Not Enough Storage" but when i tap on "Close" or "Settings", nothing happens. It's as if I never tapped on it. The buttons work but the pop-up just won't go away. I already deleted all of my pictures and some apps but the pop-up still won't come off. I can't even unlock my iPhone because the pop-up is in the way.

    Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Why do I keep getting a not enough storage message when trying to install GarageBand on my iPhone 4

    I have been trying to re-install GarageBand on my iPhone 4. I have tried downloading from iTunes app store and installing by sync from my MacBook. Neither will work. I keep getting the same "not enough storage" message.

    You may need as much as 2Gb free, at least on a temporary basis while installing the app.

  • My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download..."

    My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download...." I purchased additional storage twice, my device now shows 18GB free of a total 25GB, and still I cannot download apps I've had for yrs

    iCloud space is for backup only.
    You need more local storage; free up space on iPad:
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Delete what is not needed to free up space on iPad.

  • Every time I try to update the 4s or 4 it is saying not enough storage. I am really hating this phone now because I am not going to buy storage. We have 5 iPhones on our account and now because of iCloud it does this.

    your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

  • I have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing

    i have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing. How do i clear this off the phone.

    First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • HT1766 i deleted a ton of photos and videos from my phone but it's still telling me iCloud won't back up because there is not enough storage available.  how do i get around this?

    i deleted a ton of photos and videos from my phone but it's still telling me iCloud won't back up because there is not enough storage available.  how do i get around this?

    The Storage space its referring to is on iCloud. How much iCloud space is left, and how much space is your iPhone using?
    iCloud storage space and the iPhone's physical storage space are 2 different things.

  • How do I clear a "Not Enough Storage" message on my iphone 4s

    I have a message that will not clear it says" Not Enough Storage" " This Iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available.  You can manage your storage in Setting."  There is a Close button and Settings button but neight of these do anything.  The phone seems locked up.
    When I go to the cloud there is only contact saved and not that may.
    Any ideas how to clear the phone without doing a Restore.  I dont want to lose all my Apps.

    I saw a tip to hold down the button on the front and the top power button simultaneously and that powered off the phone and cleared the message. 

  • I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I have 18.3GB of 25GB iCloud storage available but I'm unable to download anything as it says not enough storage!!

    Please help, but keep it simple.  I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I've got 25GB storage on iCloud with 18.3GB available but when I'm trying to download anything, it's saying not enough storage available.  I thought everything I put on my iPad would be stored in the cloud but I'm obviously missing something. Any suggestions?

    The cloud is for storing your backups (which will then allow you to restore your content back on to a device), to download content on your iPad you need enough available space on your actual iPad : Settings > General > About > Available.
    If you aretrying to download an app then you generally need approximately twice its size to be able to download and install it.
