Storage full on new iPhone despite deleting photos

this is a new iPhone and I don’t understand why it says storage is full and I’m trying to delete all of the pictures but it’s say 30 days. I don’t understand I need some help.

When you delete a photo, it goes into the Recently Deleted Album for 30 days before it is automatically and permanently deleted.


If you don't want to wait 30 days for the photo to be deleted automatically, you can go into the Recently Deleted album, select the photos that you want to permanently delete and delete them manually.


Tap Photos

Tap Albums

Scroll down and tap Recently Deleted

Tap on the photo(s) that you want to delete immediately

Tap Delete


Make sure that you really want to delete the photo(s), since they cannot be recovered once deleted
