Question

Why does sometimes when you delete an app from your phone to open up space but when you try to download same thing you deleted it says “not enough space”

In: Technology

Answer 1

Your phone generally tries to keep space for other softwares and apps, such as IOS software updates. So, after you delete a certain app from your phone, it reserves this new space for other softwares and applications to be installed.

Second, your phone may temporarily need more space when downloading the app. Although the app states its size, it usually balloons higher and needs more space for this.
