Hi Scotty_Odom,


For help with iCloud, understand iCloud helps you keep your most important photos, files, and backups secure, and up to date so they are available across all your devices. While iCloud can help alleviate some storage for certain items it is not a full off device cloud storage solution. View more information here: Use iCloud on iPhone and here: Introduction to iCloud


With that said, the article here can help with more details on the difference between iCloud and local storage: What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage?


There's also helpful information to manage your iCloud storage with the article here: Manage your iCloud storage as well as information for managing your local storage with these steps: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad


Cheers.
