How to delete text messages from iCloud storage

Text messages are using 3.05GB of storage in my iCloud account. All text messages have been deleted from my iPhone, iPad, and Mac, yet the messages remain in iCloud. How can I get rid of them to give me more storage? I do not want to buy more storage.

As per this article https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207428

1. When you use Messages in iCloud your content is automatically stored in iCloud. That means they're not included in your iCloud Backup.

The data of messages might be showing an error as you iCloud back up is not completed https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT203516

The text messages are not stored in iCloud , you can't view them in iCloud.com and delete them from iCloud .
