Tips to clear iCloud Storage on iPhone


Apple provides 5GB free storage to every iCloud account, which doesn't seem enough, but if you manage properly, you can easily work on those free 5GB. Firstly, let's see what is taking all the space in iCloud. Check what data you are having in iCloud and how much space it is talking. For this, go to Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>Manage Storage. The data which takes lots of iCloud storage space is:
Email messages containing attachments
iCloud backups
Photos
Videos
WhatsApp Backups
Photostream and the photos uploaded there don't take any space because these are stored locally on the device

 Manage photos

Photos take a lot of iCloud storage space. To reduce storage, exclude your photos from iCloud backups, then download them in your computer and delete them from iCloud storage. Steps to do so, Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>Manage Storage>Photos>Disable and Delete. Remember you won't be able to restore your photos from the iCloud backup later.

Back up iCloud photos to your PC
You can use CopyTrans Cloud for this purpose. All your photos will be stored on your PC or flash drives.

Delete photos from iCloud

Now erase photos from iCloud to create free space in iCloud storage. If you don't want the new pictures to be uploaded to iCloud, you can also disable your iCloud Photo Library.

Transfer the necessary pictures from PC to iPhone

If you want some images on your iPhone, you can use CopyTrans Photo app to transfer the photos.

iCloud Drive

You can delete the files you have stored in iCloud to free iCloud storage. Go to Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>Manage Storage>iCloud Drive. You will find all the files stored in iCloud Drive. Swipe left and click on the trash icon to delete the file. You can manage your documents, videos, movies, and other data locally by transferring these files in your PC and iPhone.

Emails

You can delete unnecessary emails with big attachments to get rid of several gigabytes in iCloud.

Backups
 To find information about iCloud backup, you can go to Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>Manage Storage>Backup.

Exclude apps from backup

If the iCloud backup is enabled, then every app will automatically be backed up. For this, go to Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>Manage Storage>Backups and click the icon of your device. You can see the apps and the space occupied by them.

Secure iPhone files locally on the PC

You can also create local iPhone backups on with CopyTrans Shelbee. Your notes, contacts, calendars, SMS messages and iMessages, videos and photos, and settings will be included in the backup. You can also choose to back up your PC to any flash drive.

WhatsApp

Everyone has a long WhatsApp chat history which includes photos, videos, and GIFs. If an iCloud backup is enabled for WhatsApp, a significant space of your storage will be taken. You can save messages and WhatsApp chat history on PC with CopyTrans Contacts. Then, you may exclude WhatsApp from iCloud backup. The program allows you to save pictures and attachments in a separate folder on your computer.

Notes, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders
Apple also stores notes, calendars, contacts, and reminders on iCloud servers. They take a little space that Apple does not even show how much space they have taken.
If you do not want to trust personal information such as notes and contacts to the iCloud, then you can use CopyTrans Contacts to manage them offline or make a backup on your PC.

With the help to tips given above, you can manage your backup data in free 5GB of iCloud storage. You can also call iCloud tollfree number for more details. For other suggestions, comment down below.
