    Hello there 0ldie,

     

    It sounds like you want to manage your backed up data in iCloud to free up some space. This article should help you out there:

     

    Manage your iCloud storage

     

    If that's not the case, can you elaborate what you are wanting to accomplish?

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Cheers,

    Sterling

    I wish to ELIMINATE data (calendars, photos, etc..) within the icloud (at apple) backups without eliminating data on the device.

    It appears that the only way to eliminate data stored at apple is to eliminate the data on the device & then sync.

    (which is NOT what I want to do)

    Do you wish to delete the data or the backup of the data, 2 different things. The data is what you see (contacts e.g.) the data backup is what you can restore when you can't see the data.

     

    So which is it?

    I wish to delete All of the data AND  the backup of the data that is stored within the servers at apple (EXCEPT THE icloud MAIL DATA).

    I wish to delete All of the calendar data, AND  the backup of that data.

    I wish to delete All of the photo data, AND  the backup of that data.

    I wish to delete All of the reminder data, AND  the backup of that data.

     

    I wish to NOT HAVE MY Icloud MAIL DATA affected!!!

    I simply asked for clarification, what's with the attitude. I am a volunteer, maybe another will come along and help you, try to curb the attitude.

    Your original response was a one sentence non-answer that I thought was a request for information.

    I gave you EVERYTHING I could to be specific & eliminate another non-answer.

    Well, that didn't work.

    Are you going to be helpful, or just make snide remarks?
