How do I delete things off my iCloud to make more room?

I don't want to have to buy more iCloud storage. There's plenty on there that I can delete. But I can't seem to figure out how.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

Before you delete anything, you might want to archive or make copies of the information that you store in iCloud.


The way I understand it: Deleting synced files deletes them from everywhere that is in sync.

You can delete just the files in iCloud, by turning off sync. of that app's files.
