Open a DropBox account and back up all of your photos and videos as a safety net.


Then you have to back up (everything) on your device to iCloud.

Then you have to do a delete all contents and restore as new procedure.

Then you have to do a backup restore from iCloud.


Note: you may have to purchase extra iCloud space to perform the back up...

Note: I had 4.6 gb of data that was taken up by messages (saved) and I had 0 data left to use on the phone. It's a 4s 16g. Phone. After this procedure, I had 7.5 gb data available and everything was working as normal (as far as I could tell but it's my daughters phone and she took it back pretty quick lol)

Note: I followed the video instruction very closely - please perform this procedure at your own risk.)


NOTE:>>>>> THIS IS THE INSTRUCTION VIDEO I USED TO RESTORE FROM iCLOUD<<<<<<
