Photos take up too much iCloud data
I've deleted most photos from my Camera Roll and my Photo Stream, I only have 114 photos altogether now, but the photos are still taking up 4.5GB of my iCloud data, can anyone explain why?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

The only photos stored on icloud are...
1) photos in the camera roll that are included in a backup to icloud. But you can turn off backups of such photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned OFF if you don't want to store photos in a backup.
2) Photos stored in photo stream. But these do not count against your storage, so it doesn't matter.
That's it. There are no other photos on icloud that you can remove.
