iCloud - Issue with drive storage - Full but it's not

Guys, I initially had 24 GB of data only in iCloud Drive. So including photos and other backup it is over 50 GB.

Later after deleting items from my iCloud Drive (Mac), the size is now 15.63 GB. But when I see the size in any of my devices (iPhone, iPad) the size is still 24 GB which causes Storage Full issue, when my iPhone backup tries to run.


How can I refresh my iCloud drive. Its very annoying.! Please help.

Hey takemyapple,


I see that you have some concerns with the iCloud Drive storage on the iPhone not updating after having deleted items on the Mac. I'll be happy to help out.


Have you tried restarting yet? If not, try that now: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Also, if you have Low Power mode enabled on the iPhone, be sure to toggle this off then see if the iCloud storage updates correctly. To turn Low Power Mode off, go to Settings > Battery. Learn more here: Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone - Apple Support.


If it still hasn't updated, try switching networks on the iPhone to make sure that you're on the most stable network connection possible. For example, if you're connected to cellular data, try switching off cellular data and connecting to Wi-Fi only, or vice versa. If you're not sure how to turn off cellular data to connect to Wi-Fi only, follow these steps: Check the cellular data usage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


Take care.
