No Sufficient Space For Download iOS 10, How Comes? When you try to update to iOS 10 wirelessly, a message comes up reminding you that there is no sufficient space on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for downloading iOS 10. How comes? Guess that’s why iPhone 7 is to be released with a 256GB storage option! Actually, the iOS 10 requires 1.5 GB of free space on iOS device for update. If your iDevice is lack of enough space, try to free up the storage in these two ways: deleting content manually or deleting files in bulk.
Deleting Content Manually Remove unused apps. Open your iOS device, tap “Settings” > “General” > “Storage & iCloud Usage” > “Manage Storage” to check the internal storage on the device. You can see how much space has been used and select any app to see how much space it uses. For those apps that you barely use, click “Delete App” to remove it. However, build-in apps on iOS, such as Music and Videos, is undeletable and you can only delete parts of their documents and data.
Reduce Media Files. There must be videos, photos, or audio files that you don’t need on the device. For example, the movies that you have watched, the photos that is not well taken, the podcast files that you will never listen again. For these unnecessary files, delete them to solve the insufficient storage problem. Take videos for example. Open the Video app, find the list of videos taking up space, and then swipe a video to the left. You will find the Delete option; tap it to remove the file from your device. It is similar to delete other type of media files.
