Freeing up space in iCloud by deleting messages

I recently used up all of my iCloud space. I deleted all my messsges across all devices to free up space. It still shows I have 50gb in my messsges when I deleted all of them. How can I get iCloud to resync and free up space? Thanks so much!

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

They will remain in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days in case you change your mind. To permanently delete them before that time, remove them from this folder.
