"Reduce the size of your iCloud Backup

When you back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iCloud, the most important information on your device is backed up automatically. Learn more about what iCloud backs up.

Many apps automatically back up to iCloud after you install them. You can decrease the size of your iCloud Backup and free up space in iCloud when you stop backing up apps that you don't use or delete old iCloud backups. 

Choose which apps to back up on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
2. Tap Manage Account Storage or tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups.
3. Tap the name of the device that you're using.
4. Turn off any apps that you don't want to back up.
5. Choose Turn Off & Delete.

When you confirm that you want to Turn Off & Delete an app, it turns off iCloud Backup for that app and removes all of its information from iCloud.

Some apps are always backed up and you can't turn them off.

Delete backups and turn off iCloud Backup for your device

You can delete old iCloud backups for the device you're currently using, or older devices you might not use anymore. iCloud backups are available for 180 days after you disable or stop using iCloud Backup. Backups that are currently being used to restore a device can't be deleted.

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

1. Go to Settings > [your name], then tap iCloud.
2. Tap Manage Account Storage or tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups.
3. Tap the name of the device whose backup you'd like to delete. 
4. Tap Delete Backup > Turn Off & Delete.

When you delete a backup, it also turns off iCloud Backup for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can turn iCloud Backup back on in iCloud settings on your device.

Delete photos in iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos uses your iCloud storage to keep all of your photos and videos up to date across your devices. You can make more space in iCloud when you delete photos and videos that you no longer need from the Photos app on any of your devices.

Before you delete anything, make sure that you back up the photos and videos that you still want. When you use iCloud Photos and delete a photo or video on one device, it's also deleted on all other devices where you're signed in with the same Apple ID.

Use the steps below to delete photos and videos from your iCloud Photos. If you don't use iCloud Photos, you can delete photos from your Camera Roll instead.

If you are part of an iCloud Shared Photo Library, photos added to the Shared Library only count towards the storage of the person who created the Shared Library. To delete items that count towards your iCloud storage, make sure that you're viewing your Personal Library.

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

1. Open the Photos app, then tap Library at the bottom of your screen.
2. Tap All Photos. 
3. Tap Select, and choose one or more photos or videos that you want to delete.
4. Tap Delete , and then tap Delete Photo.

If you don't use iCloud Photos

If you don't use iCloud Photos, your Camera Roll is part of your iCloud Backup. To check how much storage it's using in iCloud Backup: 

1. Go to Settings > [your name], then tap iCloud.
2. Tap Manage Account Storage or tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups. 
3. Tap the name of the device you're using, then look at Photos. 

To reduce the size of your Photos backup, save your photos and videos to your computer, then manually back up your device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your device, you can turn off Photos in Backup or upgrade to iCloud+ for more storage. If there are any photos that you don't want to keep, you can delete them:

1. Open Photos. 
2. Select the item that you want to delete. 
3. Tap Delete  and then tap Delete Photo."

Cheers!
