If you have deleted the files from your disk but it still shows as full, there are two solutions to try: optimize your Mac and create a backup. Optimize Your Mac The first thing you should do is to ensure you have optimized or freed up the storage space on your Mac the right way. The Storage pane of About This Mac is the best way to determine the amount of storage space available on your Mac. Disk Utility and other apps might show storage categories such as Not Mounted, VM, Recovery, Other Volumes, Free, or Purgeable.
Hi acharya09,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
I see that you are trying to free up space on your iPhone 5s by deleting some apps. You're able to delete these apps from the Home Screen, but as soon as you check storage in the Settings app, they're still listed there. I'll be glad to help assist you with this storage issue.
First thing I suggest is giving your iPhone a fresh restart: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This should allow the iPhone to re-sync storage space. Once you've restarted, check the storage space and see if it displays correctly this time.
If you still have an issue after that, try checking your storage in via iTunes: Check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, specifically:

Use iTunes to check the storage on your iOS device
- Open iTunes on your computer.
- Connect your device to your computer.
- In iTunes, select your device. You'll see a bar that shows how much storage your iOS content uses, divided by content type.
- Move your mouse over a content type, like Other or Apps, to find more information:
Here is a list of the types of content on your iOS device, and what each type includes:
- Audio: Songs, audio podcasts, audiobooks, voice memos, and ringtones
- Video: Movies, music videos, and TV shows
- Photos: Camera Roll content, Photo Stream, and Photo Library
- Apps: Installed apps. The content of the apps is listed under Documents & Data.
- Books: iBooks books, audio books, and PDF files
- Documents & Data: Safari Offline Reading List, files stored within installed apps, and app content like contacts, calendars, messages, and emails (and their attachments)
- Other: Settings, Siri voices, system data, and cached files
About cached files in 'Other' iOS storage
Prevent sleep mac app. Cached files are created when streaming or viewing content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your iOS device so you can quickly access it again. iTunes categorizes cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos.
Your iOS device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.
If storage on an iOS device differs from what you see in iTunes
Since iTunes categorizes cached files as Other, reported usage for Music or Videos might differ. To view usage on your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.
If you want to delete the cached files from your iOS device
