How to free up space in iCloud
Surely more than one of you will have received the message that you no longer have space left in iCloud and therefore, you can no longer keep saving photos or videos and, above all, you will no longer be able to keep saving backup copies .
Backups are the most important thing and we recommend doing them almost daily. We do not know when we are going to have to use them, and therefore, it is always convenient to have a backup. The more recent the better.
But if you're one of those users who doesn't have space left on iCloud and you don't want to spend money to expand storage space, you may want to follow these steps to free up space .A tutorial that can come in handy when you're overwhelmed with storage in the Apple cloud
How to free up space in iCloud from iPhone, iPad and iPod TOUCH:
The first thing we have to do is enter Settings and click on our account (it appears above with a profile image).
Once we are inside, click on the iCloud section. In it we will see the space that we have contracted in the cloud of Apple and a graph with the space occupied.
Now we will access the “Manage storage” option .
iCloud Storage Space
In here we will find everything we have saved in iCloud (photos, application data, backup). The section that interests us is Copies .
Click on it and all the devices on which we have made a backup in iCloud will appear.In our case we see two. A iPhone and a iPad Now we will click on the one we want to delete. We click on the copy of iPhone
Devices backed up to iCloud
We will now see the data collected by the backup we usually make. It is a good time to disable the backup of apps from which we do not want to save anything. That way, backups will take up less space.
Since what we want is to delete them to free up space in iCloud, we just have to scroll to the bottom of this menu and we will find a tab with the name “Delete copy”.
This is how we free up space in iCloud
Now we will have deleted the backups and freed up space in iCloud . Thanks to this we can continue saving our photos, videos or make a new backup.
IMPORTANT Recommendation:
We recommend doing this tutorial promptly It's not good to do it normally. Also, if we do it constantly, there will come a time when even freeing up space in this way, we cannot free up enough to continue saving photos and backup copies.
The best thing is to pay €0.99 a month to have 50 Gb in iCloud and forget about storage problems. If you don't want to checkout, we recommend that you make backup copies of your photos when you fill up your 5 Gb of iCloud. Download the photos to your Mac or PC and then delete them from your device to free up much more space in your Apple cloud
