5 Effective Tips to Clear iCloud




(TOC)

Space in iCloud can be clogged, regardless of its volume. It is interesting that often the most useful files are those that fly into the cloud, which lie there for a very long time as a dead weight and do not bring any benefit. It's better to clean it all up.

Remove any unwanted photos or videos.

If your photos and videos are synced to iCloud, it's best to start clearing your cloud storage from your home library. Visual content today takes up a lot of space, and over time, its volume only increases.

To free up a significant part of the space in iCloud, it will be enough to at least get rid of duplicates. You will probably take a few shots to get the best shot, and are unlikely to delete bad takes later—especially when traveling.

You should also pay attention to the quality of the videos that your iPhone shoots. Obviously, the higher it is, the more space it takes up. But this is not always necessary. You can adjust this issue in the menu "Settings" "Camera" "Video recording". 

Remove files from iCloud Drive that are no longer needed.

It is important to keep in mind that files from iCloud Drive can take up enough space in the cloud. Here, for example, downloaded files from the standard iPhone browser come by default-you can check this in the menu "Settings" Safari "Downloads".

However, significantly more space in the cloud is usually occupied by files from Documents and Desktop on Mac. These directories can contain data related to professional activities that can take up a lot of space. 

 Get over your backup. iCloud

gets data from backups of Apple mobile devices, and they also take up a lot of space in the cloud storage. You can deal with them in the menu "Settings" Apple ID iCloud "Manage Storage" "Backups".

Disable third-party iCloud apps.

In the menu "Settings" Apple ID iCloud, you can disable applications from the cloud storage that can take up a lot of space. This, for example, may concern WhatsApp, which actively saves its backups to this location.

Repeat it all for "Family Sharing."

If your iCloud space is 200 GB or more, you can share it with family sharing members. You can estimate these volumes in the menu "Settings" Apple ID iCloud "Manage storage" "Family". There is a group division here.

In the event that one of the family sharing members has taken up too much shared cloud storage in iCloud, it makes sense to go through the points described above with them to resolve this issue. However, no one bothers to expand the space in iCloud for themselves and their families.
