[Blindtlk] Serious problem with my iPhone 5S

[Sami Osborne]

Hi all,

So I'm having a pretty major problem with my iPhone 5S.  Don't 
worry, though.  This has nothing to do with the phone crashing or 
freezing, but rather a storage issue.

The other afternoon, while I was charging my phone, it was first 
off due to the battery percentage being nearly 0%.  When the 
phone came back on, VoiceOver launched using a different voice 
than I use.  I normally use Alex, but that time it started up 
with Samantha, which I believe is the default rotor voice for 
American English.  This is the first part of the problem, since 
when the phone shut off automatically, it has always remained at 
Alex.  Anyway, I didn't know what else to do, so I decided to 
delete Alex and re-install him.  However, although the 
re-installation was successful, I got a message saying that the 
storage was almost full.  I believe that that's probably because 
the file for Alex is one of the biggest on the Iphone (869 M.G).  
and probably larger than any apps.  I deleted a few apps that I 
don't really use, but when I did that, it was still a lot less 
space than it was previously.  Before the deletion, my phone was 
at 0 bytes, and afterwords, it was only at 14 megabytes.  I'm 
really concerned because, even though I can use my phone, I'm 
afraid that I can't install any more apps.  So I have two 
questions for you guys: 1.  Is there any way to make it so that 
my phone is at its original storage space from when I deleted 
Alex? 2.  Is there any way to make it so that Alex is your 
default language and dialect as well as the default rotor 
language? If not, what can I do to change the voice from Samantha 
back to Alex in case this problem happens again? I thought I 
might have changed voices with the rotor before, but haven't 
realized how I did it.

For the first question, I am considering backing up my phone to 
iTunes on my windows computer, but am worried that if I do that, 
I will loose all of my apps, music, and settings that I changed.

I hope that you can help me to solve this rather frustrating 
issue.

Thanks in advance and have a good weekend,

Sami

Pdds.  I appologize in advance for going off-topic, but I just 
received my grade for my first test for my college class as part 
of my blindness training that I took last week.  I got a 94.

Thanks again.
