I deleted pictures, videos and emails, why don’t I have additional available iCloud space for backing up my iPad?

Why do I need space on my phone to backup to icloud? I thought that buying more iCloud storage meant that I could save photos, files, etc to the iCloud and free up the iphones internal storage. I can not remove anything from the phone without also deleting it from the iCloud so what is the point because I can’t even take a picture now?

Storage i understand iphone storage is different from icloud storage. I'm trying to understand if my iphone storage capacity is 16GB, then how does icloud back up 50GB of photos, videos, and other files? Does my iphone maintain only the most recent files up to 16GB? I'm not really following the least common denominator.

iCloud is empty, but phone tells me I need to upgrade to larger size to back up. Why? When I log in to my iCloud through the browser, it shows empty, yet backup on my phone refuses saying there is not enough space, and that I have to upgrade to larger size. I only have a few small photos, and in any case, the phone is set not to back up photos. How do I clear this?

Did you also clear space from your device as well?
