icloud storage

Are you confusing iCloud Storage with the storage on your device? You can buy all the storage in iCloud you want, but that won't make the space on your device any larger.

Read this link about the difference between the storage on your device and iCloud Storage --> What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? - Apple Support

If you need more space on your device, you need to delete things from your device you don't need or use, which can include: Photos, Music, Apps, Files, Messages, Email etc.

Troubleshooting Full iCloud:

One unique method...

Download All of iCloud:

One thought would be to download all of iCloud to an external drive. Once downloaded, verify your can access the data. Once verified, trash what is in iCloud. As for seeing through the download, do so in Finder on a Mac. You would download it to an external drive, and then open the drive in Finder. Search through it using the search bar on the top-right corner of the Finder window. Once downloaded, trash what is in there. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip
