Hi Marysue1946,

If you need to clear up storage space on iCloud, you'll need to follow the steps outlined in Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

We hope this helps you out.

Upgrading iCloud:

Upgrade iCloud on a Computer: Perform this on a computer, as it would be more user-friendly doing so.

For thought...

Download All of iCloud:

Save a Few: If you wanted to, rather than upgrading your iCloud plan, you could export all of iCloud onto an external disk, trash iCloud storage, and then start iCloudanew. Read my User Tip for more: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip

The easiest way is to delete unnecessary apps (or offload them) and photos/videos, there are also other things like texts that will help. Good luck!
