Q: iCloud storage

on my iphone i keep getting the warning that my icloud is full and not able to back up.

 

I have deleted all photos, texts and a good bit of emails. none of this has given me any more storage. I still get the message.

 

I want to see what is taking up all that space on my cloud, in details, by folders or files. not just what aps are open.

I would like to know what to delete.

 

Any way of getting that info?

 

Thanks for any help

    Hey jerseydane,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Sounds like your iCloud storage is full. What I can do is show you how to manage your iCloud storage if you reach or exceed your storage limit.

     

    Managing your iCloud storage

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847

    1. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage.
    2. Tap the name of your iOS device.
    3. Under Backup Options, turn off any apps that you no longer want to back up. You'll be asked to confirm this change. Choose Turn Off & Delete if you want to turn off Backup for that app and remove all of its data from iCloud.

     

    You can see what takes up most of your iCloud storage.

    1. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage.
    2. Tap the name of your iOS device.
    3. In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed

    Here’s what iCloud backs up:

    • Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.
