Corrupt iCloud Drive

My iCloud drive has somehow become corrupted. I have tried to delete it so can restore it but nothing works. I have used all my devices to delete everthing even encripted files. I have turned off iCloud drive on all my devices but still it will not empty. It still syncs but there is 184gb that will not go away. I have also been to iCloud.com and deleted everything in there. is there another way to delete this? The issue is only with the drive not the other elements.

Hi all

If you have the same issue as this then there is only one way to solve it! I contacted Apple support who very kindly called me and to check a few things. in the end they performed a little action on their end which cleared the issue. It was some kind of duplicate file that would which I not delete. What a delightful and talented team they have.
