Thank You for your reply LotusPilot! I did suspect that a higher tier of iCloud storage would not solve the problem, but in my despair thought it was worth a try. The problem is that I already have deleted several apps, documents, photos etc. But the system keeps asking for further delete. I tried to delete my mail app, which should have released the needed GB, but nothing happened. Had exactly the same figure as before deleting mail app? If you have a further comment for my problem I would appreciate it. In any case I will certainly study the support pages you sent me. As I see it is also a problem that I have no PC and thus unable to update that way. Thanx again!
