I just had this issue on my son's GF's phone last night. a few easy fixes --
1) turn on itunes password requirement on the phone. Then go into iTunes on the phone, go to search and search for the movie "Cleopatra", click on rent, it will churn a few seconds and then a warning will pop up that you don't have enough space to download it. Click OK, and do that a few more times. Each time will free up some space - don't actually rent the movie, you don't need too.
However that can take a great deal of time to do.
2) delete the facebook app, then reinstall it cleanly. That app has a gazillion hidden files created whenever it is used with no easy delete option. Dumping the app clears those out.
3) This is the easiest to me and worked last night -- back up the phone to iTunes (iCloud should work too). Do a factory reset and then load the backup. Cleared out all the junk, freed up 10GB.
