under storage check, check what is using the space. i would expect the OS to use 3.2GB or thereabouts, your apps to use maybe 1-1.5GB while photos, music etc to use the rest.

So start by removing content that you don't want like photos and videos
Then uninstall apps that you don't need
For some apps like whatsapp and instagram beta, over time they store a lot of data on the phone. So uninstall them and install them back
