Q: Of my 5 GB of iCloud storage, 4.9GB are used (backup) - how can i see what is stored in this backup and delete things (pictures/documents) that I no longer need? It’s nice that iCloud stores and backs up - but what good is it if I can’t view it?

Of my 5GB of iCloud storage, 4,9GB are used (backed- up). How can I view what is stored/backed-up on my iCloud and then delete what I no longer need/want. What good is this back-up if I can’t view it. I have rarely ever put apps on my phone - the only thing I have done over the years is take photos and videos. I have changed phones - so the only way I can access the photos is to try to find them on this back up. I cannot get into the storage. Please help!

I can't see inside of backup, but you can control what info is going to be backed up next time and after you manage it and it backs up 3 times storage is going to be reduced.
