  • A ton of you after watching my video on how to delete the other storage on the iPhone have mentioned in the comments that you are still having issues with the doing backups because your iCloud storage is full. So in this video, I figured I'd show you guys how to free up iCloud storage on your iPhone and how to make sure your iCloud storage doesn't get full going forward, as well.

      If you go under settings > iPhone storage > others at the bottom; what does it say? Plus considering you had just deleted almost 400 photos; you’re iPhone most likely still processing all the changes (others). Thus, check back tomorrow and see iPhone has decreased or not. Let us know!

    Well this is great and thank you very much. Small problem: my iCloud storage did not change from beginning to end. I think perhaps I’m missing something? I know that none of my settings look like yours because when you said tap this, there was nothing there to tap. You did make me aware of one thing, and that is I think I’m doubling up my photos because I have iCloud photo and I have Google photos. I should delete the iCloud one but I’m afraid to do it.

    I know this is 3 years ago but if anyone can help I would appreciate it, on my iPad I’m trying to get my iPad to backup but there isn’t any space on my iCloud so I went to check and my ‘backups’ were using a lot of storage but my other stuff wasn’t so I went to see the problem and I followed this tutorial by taking out things I don’t need from backups but that didn’t work so I got rid of everything but one app that is very important but it takes up 3 gigs out of my 5, the only way to back it up is to take out that one but like I said it’s very important does anyone know a way I could free up iCloud storage on that app or know a solution? Thanks!
