If you just want to delete the photos, messages, and voice memos etc temporarily and then restore them to your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch when the updating finishes, you can sync your device to iTunes/iCloud before the updating. So you can make room by deleting the photos, videos, messages, message attachments, voice memos etc from your device.
