Fix: Apple Watch ‘Storage Full’ Error (4 Ways to Fix it)

Fix Apple Watch ‘Storage Full’ Error- If you have a problem with your Apple Watch being full of content you’ve put on it, all you have to do is delete some of that content. You can do this easily by opening the Watch app on your iPhone and choosing the apps you want to use, like the Photos app, the Music app, the Podcasts app, and so on.

There, you can stop syncing, delete data that was synced, and so on. You can also get rid of apps that you don’t use. If you set up companion apps on your iPhone to automatically install on your Apple Watch, you’ll use up a lot of storage space pretty quickly.

If you have an older Apple Watch that doesn’t have as much storage space as you need, you might want to consider getting a new one. Older models only had 8GB of storage, which might be enough for casual use, but newer models have up to 32GB of storage, which gives you a lot more room for synced content and a lot of apps.
