Hey all I need help,
I recently cleaned my download from both safari and chrome on my iPhone 13 and it keeps reporting that I’m using on my iCloud Drive 17 gb. However I don’t have any iCloud plan active and looked also on the desktop website and it says that actually I’m using 5/5 gb. I’d like to remove these extra 12 gb even if the files app doesn’t report any file to delete even in the recently deleted folder.
could you please help me?
I suspect it's not a good idea to completely fill up iCloud storage.
Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
"If you run out of iCloud storage, your device won’t back up to iCloud, new photos and videos won't upload to iCloud Photos, and iCloud Drive and other iCloud apps won't stay up to date across your devices. And you also won't be able to send or receive emails with your iCloud email address."
Are you using iCloud Photos? If so, how much do you have in the way of photos and videos on your phone? Could iCloud be choking on > 5 GB of photos and videos, and misattributing the storage use to iCloud Drive?!?

just to let you see here it says that I’m using 17 gb on the drive but actually I deleted everything from the files app and it still says that I’m using 17 gb while it should be just 5
