Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
If I make a back up on iCloud and then later delete the data from my iPhone, will the data get erased from iCloud also?
if yes then what is the use of iCloud?
and if no, then how do I free up storage space on my device without losing data?
Hello,
1) Yes, items deleted from the phone are generally also deleted from the iCloud.
2) The main purpose of iCloud is to store data so that it can be available to other devices using the same Apple ID: iCloud: Use iCloud.com
3) To free up local storage, see this link:

4) If your storage space is used up by photos and videos, put them into the cloud and then store only low-res versions on the phone:
Set up and use iCloud Photos – Apple Support
Good luck.
