How to free up storage space in iCloud
One of the main selling points of the Apple ecosystem is the tight integration between Apple devices, software and online services. ICloud is no exception as it offers the most transparent way to backup and connect your Apple devices. Unfortunately, the free tier on iCloud offers a measly 5GB of storage, so it’s easy to see why most people run out of space on iCloud so quickly. If you have this problem, we will show you how to free up storage space in iCloud.
Fortunately, iCloud storage is not very expensive. If you want to upgrade to a larger plan, rather than wiping data to free up your existing storage, here are your options:
If you don’t have iCloud storage and you want to free up some space, you need to first check what is consuming your iCloud storage.
On an iPhone, go to Parameters> [Votre nom] > iCloud> Manage Storage.
On a Mac, open the menu Apple y and a  Preferencias del sistema> ID de Apple> iCloud, then click Manage.
This will tell you what is using space on your iCloud account. For most people, it’s probably about photos, messages, iCloud backups, iCloud Drive, and apps. Here’s how to free up space for each of them.
If you have had multiple iOS devices over the years, chances are good that each of those devices has its own backup stored in your iCloud account.
You can delete backups of old devices that you no longer use. To do so, follow these steps:
If you are using a Mac, open the menu Apple y and a  Preferencias del sistema> ID de Apple> iCloud. Click on ManageAnd select BackupsNow you can choose which backups to delete.
This step is not easy. For most of us, our iPhone photo library contains some of our most precious memories, so deleting photos is painful. But since your mission is to free up iCloud storage space, we’ll show you what you need to do regardless.
First, you need to check the camera settings on your device to make sure that you are not using more space than you need in iCloud. This involves deciding whether you can switch to 720p or 1080p video instead of 4K, among others.
Let us begin:
Now that you’ve reduced the space your photos will take up in the future, it’s time to start removing unwanted items from your photo library. Here’s how:
If the Messages app is taking up a lot of space on iCloud, you can quickly free up space by following these steps:
If you are using iCloud Drive on any of your Apple devices, you may want to check it to make sure there are no junk files taking up a lot of space.
On iOS or iPadOS, open the app Files and press  iCloud Drive, then check each folder to see if there is anything you can delete.
On your Mac, open the DiscovererAnd click iCloud Drive in the sidebar to do the same.
Most services on iCloud are more of a “syncing” service than a backup service. This is a small but crucial difference that has a big impact on how you should handle the problem.
Think of it this way: if you delete a photo from your iPhone, it is also removed from iCloud. Yes, we know that it remains in the Recently Deleted folder by default. S for 30 days, but if you delete it from there, there is little chance of getting it back.
A true backup service would allow you to keep copies of the deleted files for much longer. Let’s say you created a local backup of your photo library and stored it on a hard drive. Now even if you delete these photos from your iPhone, there is a copy of that image on your hard drive.
That is why we recommend that you backup everything on your Apple devices before freeing up iCloud space. You can use Time Machine to keep a local backup of your Mac, as well as services like Backblaze for them.
