icloud storage problem - used by other documents (icloud drive) but icloud drive actually empty

Hello,


I have this problem with my icloud storage where it says it is used by other documents (icloud drive). However, when I checked the icloud drive using the web and even the deleted items folder it is empty.


I use an iphone and an ipad. I have even tried unchecking icloud drive from the apps using icloud in the storage. Even under manage storage and deleting iCloud drive (Other documents - Delete Data).


iPhone XS

Try iCloud.com/Settings using a computer browser and go to Advanced at the bottom left. Access Restore Files. If there are files there you do not need, delete them.
