I have a problem with iCloud Drive taking up space in my iPhone storage. I could not find the button to erase this from the iPhone storage and I could not find what app creates this. This iCloud Drive did not show up 2 months ago but keep on showing up. Anybody know how to remove this from the iPhone storage?
iPhone X, iOS 12
Hello weston_campbell,

I'm having the same problem. There's nothing in my iCloud Drive, and I've already turned if off on Settings > "My name" > iCloud > iCloud Drive. The "Files" app does not show any files either. And still, iCloud Drive is taking 3,63 GB from my Iphone.
