Here are some ways to fix the Apple Watch “Storage Full” error:
- Delete apps and watch faces: If you have a lot of apps and watch faces installed on your Apple Watch, deleting some of them can free up some storage space. You can delete apps by tapping and holding on the app icon until it starts to wiggle, then tapping the X button. To delete watch faces, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap on the Face Gallery tab, and then tap on the Edit button. Tap on the – button next to the watch face that you want to delete.
- Remove music and podcasts: If you have a lot of music and podcasts stored on your Apple Watch, deleting some of them can free up some storage space. You can remove music by opening the Music app on your Apple Watch, tapping on the My Music tab, and then tapping on the Edit button. Tap on the – button next to the song or album that you want to delete. To remove podcasts, open the Podcasts app on your Apple Watch, tap on the Library tab, and then tap on the Edit button. Tap on the – button next to the podcast that you want to delete.
- Disable automatic downloads: If you have automatic downloads enabled for apps, watch faces, music, and podcasts, this can also fill up your Apple Watch’s storage. To disable automatic downloads, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap on the General tab, and then tap on Storage. Toggle off the Automatic Downloads switch.
- Reset your Apple Watch: If you have tried all of the above and you are still getting the “Storage Full” error, you may need to reset your Apple Watch. This will erase all of the data on your Apple Watch, so make sure that you have backed up your data before you do this. To reset your Apple Watch, hold down the Digital Crown and the Side button until you see the Apple logo. Tap on Erase All Content and Settings and then follow the on-screen instructions.
By following these steps, you should be able to free up space on your Apple Watch and resolve the “Storage Full” error. Regularly managing your Apple Watch’s storage can help prevent this issue and ensure that your watch functions smoothly. However, since technology and software often receive updates, the exact steps or options may change in future versions of watchOS and the Watch app. Always refer to the latest Apple support documentation or resources for the most up-to-date information on managing storage on your Apple Watch.
