iCloud is syncing storage and is mostly self-managing. In other words, things in iCloud are also stored on devices too. Remove them from iCloud and they get removed from devices too. iCloud is not archival storage. I would guess those document and data are in iCloud Drive. I don't use iCloud Drive so I don't know where it gets its files but I would guess from the Documents folder on a computer. As far as I know the only way to get rid of that data is to put it somewhere on the computer where iCloud can't see it and try to sync it to your iPhone.
