iCloud storage is full...

Good afternoon,

Two days ago I got a warning that my iCloud storage was full.

Initially saying that my current usage was 89,3 GB of 50 GB.

First of all I disabled iCloud Photo Library, which was 39,3 GB.

Now it says my current usage is 55,7 GB of 50 GB. (the numbers don't add up, which is weird)

The bulk of my storage was and is apparently used for Documents, as you can see in the screenshot below.

I definitely do not have 50GB of Documents stored anywhere and have absolutely no idea where this is coming from. I've tried to get rid of them by "Manage Storage" but they are not showing up , as you can see in the following screenshot.

Before I forget : iCloud drive is hardly used. It stores 0,5 GB of files, that's all.

Please help me out here.

Best regards,

FD

Other people have posted similar problems and after contacting iCloud support, found it was a server problem. iCloud support reset everything. You may have to politely ask for a level 2 person.


Contact iCloud Support. You may have to try twice.

I have the exact same problem since today. 50GB plan (for my iOS device backups and mail), iCloud claims that I use 33GB for "documents" and 58GB in total – I have a few small files on my iCloud drive, nothing else, neither directly copied there nor created by apps. After having tried all day to find these 33GB, I am now afraid that maybe there are some broken files not visible for me, but still on the Apple servers. (Downgraded from a 200GB plan a few months ago and copied a lot of big files to the cloud in the past – I deleted them all long time ago though). Trash is emptied. Guess I have to call Apple, but I doubt that they can help me.
