How do I see what messages are stored on my iCloud account?

I see the green bar for my iCloud Storage, but I do not know how to see what these messages are. If I delete my iCloud storage will I lose all the the stored messages? Are these text messages? Will they remain in my iPhone?

Thanks

It sounds as if you're using iCloud Syncing for messages. You can't see which specific messages are stored on iCloud, only how much space they take up. They are SMS and iMessages. You can't delete the messages through iCloud. If you turn off iCloud Storage entirely, the messages should still be on your phone. But why would you want to do that? I think there may be some details you've left out.
