I keep getting an error message that reads: Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Try doing a hard reset:

Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.


After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup


and backup with iTunes from now on 🙂
