How to clear apple icloud storage -

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.
