Q: icloud storage very close to full, even though I only have 97 photos and deleted the backups of many apps

My iPhone 6 keeps notifying me that my icloud storage is almost full. It says it has 4.6GB out of 5GB. I deleted the backup and the photos I didn't want, but I only had 110 photos in the first place. I  have some friends that would take my phone and take like 999 photos on many occurrences just to joke around, but I always deleted them off my phone right after I got it back. I thought 5 GB was like at least 1000 photos.So if I deleted all the pics my friends took and the only icloud photo storage I can see on my iPhone is the 97 photos I have currently, then why is my icloud storage almost full and is it possible that the photos my friends took are what is making it full? I can't see or do anything about the photos they took because I deleted them so I don't know what to do. I also got my phone just barley in December 2015  and it was brand new so it shouldn't have any storage issues. please help and thank you.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1
