When I click iCloud backup it says “there isn’t enough space left on device to backup.”

Hey there ccasti_,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help with your iCloud backup.

When you don't have enough space for your iCloud backup, you have options. You can make space by managing storage: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

You can add more storage to iCloud: Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support

And you can back up using a computer: Back up iPhone - Apple Support (Check out the last 2 sections, one of which is for PCs and one for Mac.)

Take care.
