Notes on my IPhone taking too much space

I am having an issue with the Notes application. I use the notes application for taking pictures and recording of my zoom classes for university. And I have a good bit of iCloud space that i pay monthly for this purpose. I only have all of my notes in iCloud and yet it is taking up all of my regular phone space. Is it because my 50 gb of extra iCloud storage is not enough to hold it all so it spills into my regular storage? For anyone wondering I have 127 gb of regular storage. And my phone is already full! I just bought the phone so I know that it’s not my pictures as they only take 20 gbs of space or anything else. Any help would be appreciated!


iPhone SE, iOS 13

Reclaim Some Unnecessary Space:


First: Download them from iCloud


I. On a Computer

  1. Go Here: https://www.icloud.com/notes
  2. Drag the Data: to your Desktop or an external hard drive


II. On the iPhone:

Try the following, deleting items that are unneeded. Note: This cannot be undone. So, by deleting them, they will be gone. So, for large files that are no longer needed (i.e. from parties or vacations), delete them. So, the best solution would be to download them from iCloud using your computer, and then transfer them to a flash drive, accessing them when need be.

On the iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Name
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Manage Storage
  5. Tap: iCloud Drive
  6. View: DOCUMENTS & DATA pane
  7. Select: Items to Delete
