how do i force sync my icloud?

My icloud storage is almost full, I have deleted over 1000 photos and videos, how do I force my icloud to sync to reduce the stored files?

Hello jasonheavyside,


While iCloud cannot be forced if there's no space, you can use a computer to help offload some of those photos and video and make some room on both your device as well as iCloud. Directions can be found at Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC - Apple Support. Once moved to the computer, the photos can be deleted from your device which will also synchronize the deletion to your iCloud.


Cheers!
