Make sure you have iCloud syncing turned off on all your devices/computers. Then go to iCloud.com using a computer browser and delete the data that is there. While in each app, after deleting the data, check for a Recently Deleted album, a Recently Deleted folder, or a Recently Deleted. Empty the data from there. Then go to Account Settings and at the bottom left under Advanced, see if there are any files/data there. Delete that.
