To clear your Apple iCloud storage, you can delete old data you no longer need or manage what’s being backed up. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
🔧 On iPhone or iPad:
- Open Settings
- Tap your Apple ID name at the top.
- Tap iCloud.
- Tap Manage Account Storage or Manage Storage.
From here, you can do the following:
✅ Delete Backups:
- Tap Backups.
- Select a device.
- Tap Delete Backup (if it’s no longer used).
✅ Delete iCloud Drive Files:
- Tap iCloud Drive.
- Delete files you no longer need.
✅ Delete Photos:
- Tap Photos.
- If using iCloud Photos, deleting photos/videos here will remove them from all devices.
- Consider transferring to local storage or another service before deleting.
✅ Manage App Data:
- Go through apps like Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, or others using iCloud.
- Delete unnecessary data or disable iCloud syncing for unused apps.
💻 On Mac:
- Go to System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud.
- Click Manage.
- You can then manage backups, iCloud Drive, and app data as above.
🌐 On iCloud.com:
- Visit iCloud.com and sign in.
- Use apps like iCloud Drive, Photos, and Mail to manually delete files/emails.
How you can check which apps are using the most iCloud storage on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac so you can target what to clear:
📱 On iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your Apple ID name at the top.
- Tap iCloud.
- Tap Manage Account Storage or Manage Storage.
You’ll now see a list of apps and services using iCloud, sorted by the amount of storage used.
- Backups: This includes full device backups (biggest users).
- Photos: If iCloud Photos is on, this will be significant.
- Messages: Texts, images, and videos in iMessage.
- iCloud Drive: Documents and app files.
- Mail: Emails and attachments if you use an @icloud.com email.
- Other apps like WhatsApp, Voice Memos, etc. may also appear.
Tap each item to:
- Review what’s using space.
- Turn off iCloud storage for that app.
- Delete data if possible.
💻 On Mac:
- Open System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud.
- Click Manage next to the storage bar.
- You’ll see a list similar to iPhone/iPad with detailed usage.
Once you know what’s taking up the most space, I can help you clean it up.
