"iCloud Drive Storage : Why my iCloud Drive keeps increasing in size ? I have basic iCloud plan (5gb) and my iCloud Drive on device shows more than 20 gb. When I see what's there in it it shows only 42mb, but it occupies space on my phone more than 20 gb. Can anyone help me with this ?"

Apple Contact Info:
- Contact Us - Choose Locations

- Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
