Was it an upgrade to Android 5.0 or something else?

Thanks Mentor, that explains why. The update to Lollipop is very big. I believe it's a 2.3 GB file size. Unfortunately, I believe the only way to get more storage is to use a SD card or to root your phone and then downgrade to Kitkat. These are the only options I know but Uliwooly could know more. Sorry.
