Apple: when later elicits a download

Plugging in... 

Apple and Microsoft both are showing their bully sides with the operating system upgrades they are pushing at us.

On the beloved Apple Phone or iPad, even when the user chooses LATER, remind me LATER, the sneaky Apple software update is downloaded, consuming space, which for some users, that space is critical (8 GB phone users). 

Choose Settings, General, Storage and iCloud Usage, Manage Storage to see if it is there and DELETE if not interested in updating right now, which results in regaining the space the update used. But... be sure to check the next time you are prompted for the update. If you choose LATER, it will be downloaded again without your knowledge, or consent, repeat the above to remove it. 
BTW, signing OUT of iCloud will not prevent this.  

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, was it downloaded without your knowledge, and is it turned on?
