WhatsApp claims I have no storage on my phone to restore a backup while I have more than enough space for the backup size required. What do I do?

Hello community,
I used to have storage problems on my phone, and chose to delete WhatsApp since it consumed nearly a whole gigabyte on my phone. I thought that through deleting it and reinstalling, it would get rid of the overload of data and start fresh. However, once I got to the page to restore from a back-up of my messages, I didn't have enough space on my phone. So I did further research into how to free up some space (turned out I had a lot of deleted photos hiding in my phone which should've been totally gone) and managed to get nearly 500 MB free. So I went back to my WhatsApp app, and tried to restore the back-up since it says the size of the back-up is 360 MB. However, it still gives the following error message that it had given me before:
"Sorry, there isn't enough room on you iPhone to restore from your iCloud backup. Make room by deleting existing videos or photos and try again."
I didn't (and still don't) understand why it says there is no room on my phone even though I had about 450 MB free. I have tried switching my phone off and then back on. Still, I get the same message. I have also tried deleting WhatsApp again and re-installing it but still I get the same message, still when I have enough room on my phone. By now, I have already consumed my storage on other apps so I don't have much space left anyway, making the error message reasonable.
I would really appreciate if anyone could just throw me some possible solutions that could solve the problem of WhatsApp not recognizing that I've got enough space for it on my iPhone to restore all my messages. I would like them back because I have some important and nice message threads I would love to have retrieved. Remember, I have already tried switching my phone off and back on and also deleting WhatsApp when I had sufficient storage. Currently I don't have enough storage, which makes sense for the error message to appear, but if anyone gives me a possible solution I will make way for enough storage and try the solution.
Also a weird thing is that at first, I still got notifications of messages people sent me through private chat (so not group chat). I don't know what it exactly means, but hopefully that helps with finding a solution.
If you think that I might as well post this question on a WhatsApp forum, please tell me, because it does indeed seem like it lies on the app and not my phone.
Thank you all anyway for reading and wanting to help.

  • TS1702 I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck.

    What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.

  • TS1702 Does any one know how to solve this iPod touch error: I am tryin to pay for an app but I can because it says that I don't have enough space when I actually have more than enough space to download it so please help me

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem: I a trying to download a paid app but I cannot because the AppStore says that info not have enough space to download it even though I have more than enough space so if any of you know what can solve this problem then please let me know

    The app is compressed and needs swap space to install. As a rule of thumb you need 3 times the listed size of the app available, or in your case 4.6GB. You only have 1.7GB.

  • Can we have more than One DC for the sales organization and Plant combo?

    Can we have more than One DC for the sales organization and Plant combination?
    If yes can you please site a practical example to clear the picture

    Hi
    First of all in SAP sales orgs are assigned to distribution channels and the combination of sales org and distribution channel which is called distribution chain is assigned to plant
    There is  no direct link  between sales org  and plant or distribution channel and plant
    So  sales org  and plant combination doesnot exists and
    it is only sales org and dist channel combination which is  called as distribution chain only exists
    Nowhere in SAP we are assigning sales org to plant
    It is because sales org alone doesnot make sense and its combination with dist channel only makes sense
    because sales org is a selling org and the distribution channel is the route to sell and this combination has only to pick the material from plant to process sales to customers
    The relation between sales org and distribution channels is many to many and also vice versa
    Multiple sales orgs can be assigned to one distribution channel and
    Multiple distribution channels  can be assigned to one sales org
    Similarly the relation ship between Distribution chain (sales org+dist channel) to plant is also many to many and vice versa
    Similarly plants from other company codes can also be assigned to Distribution chain to facilitate intercompany processes
    In whatever way look at it the multiple distribution channels can be fit anywhere

  • I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in OR convert it to SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
    Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
    Regards.

  • I have purchased additional iCloud space.  It shows I still have space, however my iPad mini shows I don't have enough space for the update for ios7.  My photos are in the cloud, I guess,  so why don't I have enough space?

    If I delete photos on my iPad mini, can I still see them in iCloud storage?  How do I free up more space on my iPad  without removing photos?

    If you delete photos from your iPad, they will also be deleted from iCloud and you'll lose them.  Also, having additional iCloud space won't give you any more space on your device.   You can't move any data to iCloud and delete it from your device.  All you iCloud data is also on you device, and if you delete it from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
    One option to free up space for the update is to delete the music from your iPad, then sync it back using iTunes after you update.   (You can delete it all by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then tap Music>Edit, then tap next to All Music.)
    Also, if you purchsed the iCloud storage upgrade in the last 15 days thinking you chould use it to free up space on your iPad, you can call the Apple online store for your country and get a refund (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada.)

  • HT4528 I have no battery life in my iphone 5 since the iOS 7 upgrade.  I have completed all suggestions to help increase the battery power and now I can't use my phone more than 4 hours without the battery dying. What is the solution?

    I have no batter in my iphone 5 since upgrading to ios7.  I have talked with verizon techinical support and completed all suggestions to maintain the battery. And by the way, these suggestions are annoying and limit phone use as well as require you to close out each application after use, also turning off wi-fi and blue tooth. I don't need this phone if I can't use the features for which it was purchased! Any ideas?  Is there a fix coming soon for the battery? Can I return my iphone for my old droid?
    Help!

    Hi! I don't what's happened for your phone but, you can have more battery life with turning of Wifi, decries brightness, turn off location service and etc. also you shold use less Free+Much Ads apps becuase they use more battery than paid apps normaly.
    for more informations about battery normal life see here.
    I guess it's not a normal issue. so connect to Apple Care or wait for a better answer...

  • Users have more than one profile for the same role

    Hello,
    As I said in my earlier post I'm rather new to SAP.
    I'm doing now the security audit of my SAP system. In particular, I'm checking whether business users have access to DEBUG functionality.
    I have run report 'Users by complex selection criteria' and found certain number of such users. Then I looked further and discover that all these users have role X assigned to them. The profile P2 of the role X displayed in PFCG has DEBUG functionality deactivated. After second look I discovered that all these users have earlier profile P1 for the same role X assigned to these users. This profile P1 contains the functionality in question.
    I solved the issue by revoking the role X from the users and assigning it again. Both P1 and P2 profiles were removed from the users and only P2 was reassigned again.
    I used to think that role may have only the profile that is displayed in PFCG? Also, I used to think that if the role profie is regenerated the newly generated profile automatically replace the old one assigned to users. Am I wrong?

    Hi Pavel
    In simple and short ..
    Role contains authorization objects..
    Maximum limit of authorization objects for a role is 150 .
    So a role can accommodate 150 authorization objects.
    New Profile ABC is created , when ever you create a new role. 1-1 relation.
    But if a role has more than 150 authorization objects .. then automatically a new profile ABC01 will be created and it will also be aligned to that role .
    if role has 400 auth objects, then profiles will be ABC ,ABC01 ,and ABC02
    i hope this helps you
    Cheers

  • Can I have more than one library for the same ipod nano?

    I have a desktop pc that I have originally setup my nano on. I have about 400 songs on that computer. I have about 500 other songs on my laptop, can I put itunes on to both computers and have them add the songs from each one respectively without erasing the other? and if so, how?

    Type 61675 into the search bar under the support tab on this website. "How to use ipod with multiple computers"
    Basically, you have to change your preferences to manually manage instead of automatically update.
