So, the past couple of days I've been getting that annoying "Storage Is Almost Full" crap and I just dismiss it. I never realized I would get there but since I'm a such hoarder of photos (12GB) and text (4GB), I'm there. Definitely getting a 64GB with the new one, no more 32GB.

Anyway, yesterday I decided to finally delete some files to free up space. I went into the Usage section and to my surprise, it said I had 1.1GB free. How can this be? Did my phone delete something without telling me? Or was the message just wrong (I never looked at my free-space)? Also, I didn't close any background apps or restart my phone.
 
Possibly some caches and temporary files from various apps got cleaned/emptied.
