How do I delete contents from my iCloud account to free- up space

Recently i replaced my damaged iPhone with a new one. I could restore the contents to new phone. But now I am not able to update the iCloud from my new phone as it says that "Not enough space". This leads to the question - how do i remove all the contents in my iCloud account?
Also when I login into my iCloud account using PC, I see there are 2 phones shown against my account and I am not able to delete one of them?
Any tips for both these issues.
Thanks.

How to complete delete everything from my icloud account. Like brand new.

First go to Settings>iCloud on your device and confirm that everything is turned to Off, and that you are not syncing any data with iCloud before proceeding. (If you are, when you delete the data from iCloud it will also be deleted from your device and it will be lost.) When you turn these off, you will be given the option to keep the data on your device.
To delete your contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
To delete your my photo stream photos, open the album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap the trash icon. If you want to keep a copy of them on your device, save them to your camera roll first.

Since the latest system update, iCloud saw fit to download old songs that I have purchased and since deleted from my account. I just want to kill it with fire.

How can I delete pics from photos in order to free up space on my iPod 5 with iOS 8?

In iOS 8, how can I delete pictures from photos app because I have run out of space, I need to delete at least 6 GB of pics. I deleted many purchased apps but it did not restore space. When I connect to iTunes it shows about 4 GB's allocated to documents & Data. I do not have any documents or data , also it shows a couple of GB's allocated to "other" I checked everything on the iPod and the only thing I can see using all my space is the pictures. Almost 12 GB's of space. I have all the videos and pics backed to iPhoto library on my iMac. The trash can is disabled on iPod, but enabled on iPhone and iPad. Why is the delete/trash can feature disable on my iopd? I need to delete the videos and a lot of pics.

Were the photos synced to the iPod?
If so you have to unsync them or use a third-party computer program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

How do I delete apps from the icloud account ?

When I download an old app that used to work perfectly , it no longer works . I was told to delete it from my devise and reload it from the app store but I do not get that option when i search the app. I only get the option to load it from the cloud and it doesn't work once loaded. How can I delete the app from the icloud so as to download the app directly from the app store ?

Downloading it from the cloud is downloading it from the App store.
Your most likely problem is that your iOS is too old to run the App, unless you can update your iOS there is little you can do about this.

How do I delete songs from my iCloud account when they don't exist in iTunes?

I have several songs that showup on my iPhone 4s with the cloud icon and downward pointing arrow.
1. I've just deleted all songs on my iPhone4s
2. Only songs with the iCloud icon showup
3. The songs on my iPhone4S that showup with the iCloud icon don't exist in iTunes
4. I don't use iTunes Match
5. I know that I can turn off "Show All Music" in the Music Setting to not show those songs, but I want to delete those songs I no longer have from my i Cloud account.
How do I delete those songs with the iCloud icon?
Thank You...

You can't delete them from iCloud because they aren't stored in your iCloud account (and don't use any of your storage). They are stored in the iTunes store, and the cloud symbols are links to your previous purchases. If you don't want to see them, hide them on the purchased list in iTunes on your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

I would like to free up space on my icloud account. can I do that by deleting pictures? How can I delete the pictures?

This is the iPhoto for Mac forum. None of the services that use iPhoto in iCloud use up any of your space, so I suggest you try here:

How do I delete devices from my iCloud account

I have several old devices that show up for account verification. I can see them in my account details at settings in iCloud, but don't see a way to delete them. Is there a way to delete those old devices?

Did you set up the iPad Mini using a backup of your iPhone? If so, that is why you would see them on the iPad.
Did you erase the iPhone and sign out of your iCloud account before giving it away? If you did, then the person who now has the iPhone has no access to your iCloud account.

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

HT4847 How do I delete things from my iCloud?

Hello, everyone! I need some help, okay so, my iPhone has been acting up lately, I am no longer receiving iMessages, it says it cannot connect to iTunes and YouTube, and I no longer receive push notifications from any of my apps. i figured it is because i need to update the iOS5 for my phone, but I'm not sure. To update the iOS5, i need to backup my phone, which i can't do because my iCloud is full, i was wondering how do you delete things from the iCloud? I have already went through and deleted a great number of pictures from my phone and also apps that i was no longer using. I don't want to lose anything from my phone, but i'm not sure if my iCloud has everything backed-up? Also, could that be the reason to why my phone has been acting up? or could something else be wrong? PLEASE HELP!

General advice on "slimming" down your device's storage:
You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
Backups:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud. Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data. Then delete the backup. That will free up space. Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn
Emails:
Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device. That can also save a lot of space.

How can i delete Apps from my iCloud

I have downloaded some Apps that i didn't like and i deleted them from my IPad. But they are still in the iCloud. How can i delete these from the iCloud?

If you mean they are in your purchased list in iCloud, this can't be deleted. The iTunes and App stores keep a record of all your purchases. If you don't want to see them listed you can hide them if you want, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919. (Note: you can no longer hide purchases on an iOS device if you are running iOS 6 but you can still hide them on your computer.)
