iCloud Won't Let Me Delete Messages

How do I delete Messages that aren't visible??


Why oh why can't I delete messages from my iCloud backup? I've deleted them from my phone, but they show as still taking up space in the backup....but when I go to the detail page in the backup it only shows less than 1000 kb.

What can I do?

Thank you for your help.

The 804 KB is the top conversations. The rest of the number is the other conversations, pictures, videos, audio files and data required to sync.


Honestly, if it were me, I'd spend the .99/month to increase the storage to 50 gigs.
