Hey everyone!
I saw an old thread about how to delete documents from ICloud. When following the steps that were given a lot of people said it wasn't working. Then I tried deleting my messages from my phone because I noticed my past messages are saved on my computer. It COMPLETELY changed my storage! I just wanted to share in case anyone is facing the same problem I was having.
Have a great day!
