[QUOTE="sean0520, post: 1649172, member: 347420"] Hi all, Please help! I've searched around Google and on the forums but so far have not found quite the same issue as what I am experiencing, and it has been incredible aggravating. What's happening is my iPhone's storage space mysteriously seems to be losing Available capacity, sometimes even briefly gaining that storage back. Last week I had over 20GB available. The next morning I looked at my phone and I had 4GB available. Then, a day or two after that, 0k. It is important to note that I did not add anything during this time, apart from a few pictures in the span of 20GB to 4GB, but nowhere near that amount of data! I have even gone through and deleted several GB's worth of photos and apps, at one point freeing up about 6GB's as of this past Sunday. By Monday night I had 1.6GB available, again without adding anything new to my phone. Today, I woke up again to 0kb. Again I deleted over 1,200 pictures (I didn't need them anymore anyway) which somehow only freed up 11.9mb. 10 minutes later that number magically jumped to 1.6GB, but I would expect that to be updated sooner if it was still processing the permanently deleted pictures? Finally, I have manually calculated all of my apps under Settings>Usage>Manage Storage and have found that I have only used 85.2GB. Yet the iPhone still claims I've used 112GB and I still have that 1.6GB that I had about 30 minutes ago this morning. I realize many people will tell me to restore my phone, but since I am between computers right now that is not a possibility. Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read through this. Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated. iPhone 6+ 128gb iOS: 8.1 Thank you! [/QUOTE]
