iCloud drive is taking up 12.82GB of storage on my iPhone

Hi,

iCloud drive is taking up 12.82GB of storage on my iPhone XS 64GB, even though I haven't downloaded anything to my phone. I can't update to the newest version of iOS because my phone keeps telling me it's full, even though it's all tied up in icloud drive, which should only be temporary files. This is extremely annoying, that's why I want to know if there is any way to resolve this.


Thanks for reading,

Niels
