Next backup is higher than phone storage

I have a similar problem that was already solved here, but nothing helps me. I deleted the backups, turned off everything that should be backed up and yet my next backup will always be 222.43GB. Despite the fact that the storage size of this phone is 128Gb. Can anyone advise me? Thank you

Hi Bitihn,

For help with creating an iCloud backup, test the steps below found in the article here: If you can't back up to iCloud

"If an alert says that there's not enough iCloud storage

In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > [your name].
Tap iCloud. At the top, you can check how much iCloud storage you've used.
Tap Manage Account Storage or Manage Storage.
Tap Backups, then tap the device you're using. Under Last Backup and Backup Size, you can check Next Backup Size. It may take a few minutes for your device to calculate Next Backup Size.
If your backup needs more space than the amount you have available in iCloud, you can:

Delete information that you don't need to reduce the size of your backup
Upgrade your iCloud+ plan to get more space"

As you mentioned you have no apps selected and the next backup size still appears large test a normal restart of your iPhone. Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

If the issue remains, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist checking on your iCloud account and storage.
