My I phone 5s tells me I don't have enough storage to take a photo. I deleted everything I possibly could but still don't have enough storage

Hi. This is a VERY common issue and from it I guess you have the 16gb iPhone 5s?

Do you use iCloud Photo Library or a 3rd party photo/file storage solution such as Google photos?

If you have iCloud Photo Library make sure your setting within Settings - Photos has ‘Optimise IPhone Storage’ enabled.
This will remove the photos from the phone but keep them backed up iCloud for you.

If you don’t I’d recommend you look into Google as you get unlimited photo storage space where you can upload all the pics and delete them off the phone.

You also need to make sure you have removed any music, films/tv shows, apps etc that you no longer use.
