    Welcome to the Apple Community Bfreeman.


    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage > Manage...... on your iOS device. Or System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...... on a Mac.



    You have 3 options......


        1.    Purchase more iCloud storage.

        2.    Delete data or back ups that are being stored in iCloud already.

        3.    Turn off items to be included in the next back up to reduce its size.
