I can't restore a Backup to my Iphone No enough Space I have 118Gigs Free?

I accidently deleted my Health Data and trying to restore my Iphone 12 pro max from a computer backup.

It says not enough space but I have 118Gigs of empty space on a 256gig Iphone 12. That seems like plenty of open space.

How much do I need to free up to restore it? Any suggestions on what to delete?

Yes it was and the backup was encrypted with a password so I hope its there.

I found that you have to have as much free space on your Iphone as the the size of the backup on your hard drive.

My backup was 130gigs so I deleted my music and now its restoring. Very WEIRD you need that much room. Its restoring now.


Thanks
