Hi there,


There is no way currently to 'take a backup' of your iCloud storage. You'll have to drag and drop stuff onto your desktop manually. To answer your question on how to remove the storage, on your iPhone:

  1. Go into Settings.
  2. Tap your name at the top of the screen. This will show your iCloud details.
  3. Tap the iCloud tab, below Subscriptions.
  4. Tap Manage Storage.
  5. Scroll down and tap iCloud Drive. This will show you what things you have in your iCloud Drive at the moment.
  6. Tap Delete Documents & Data.


I hope these answers help you solve your issues you are currently having.
