I keep my photos on an external hard drive so I don't run out of storage. My "Backups" take up over 32 GB of my storage! What happens if I "Delete & Turn Off Backup" in iphone under Manage Account Storage?
Any other recommendations on how to clean up Backups to make more storage?
Thanks!
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16
