I have the 50gb plan, and about 37gb of photos (had almost 12000). A couple days ago I decided to clear a bunch of images. I deleted a couple thousand old phgotos on my phone thinking I'd free up a couple gigabytes.
Nothing.
Even now, days later, my iCloud is still full, and I don't know how to clear it. Help me out guys?
iPhone 6s, iOS 11, 64gb
The photos are probably still on the server.
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.
If necessary contact iCloud Support. You may have to try twice.
Did you also delete them from your Recently Deleted folder? See the "Delete photos permanently" section in:
Delete photos on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
I did yes. Well, they never went there as my iCloud storage is full, and they got removed instantly.
What does Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Storage/Manage Storage show for total data?
Assuming this is what you mean - 50gb out of 50gb used. 37.7gb photos.
Thanks, I’ll try that and report back.
You are welcome. Good luck.
