Reset all settings
In the event that absolutely everything failed and the iPhone storage manager did not recover even after waiting a few minutes, it will most likely be necessary to perform a complete reset of all settings. If you perform this reset, you won't lose any data, but your iPhone's settings will automatically revert to the state they were in when you first turned it on. So everything will have to be set up again, including functions, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc., so you have to take that into account. You can reset all settings in Settings → General → Reset or Transfer iPhone → Reset → Reset All Settings.
