Apple Music is holding a hidden streaming cache that iOS refuses to clear until your device approaches maximum capacity.

thanks for you’re reply
my storage has been at full capacity for months. some apps won’t even launch. not sure if there’s a different sequence to the whole delete->restart->reinstall dance that i haven’t tried.
