How do I delete things from my Icloud?!?

I have a 5GB storage plan and it is nearly full. And when I try to delete thing it doesn't make a difference, do I delete things from my ipad or do I delete things from my laptop? I'm really confused as I have read other answers and done what it says and hasn't made a difference! HELP! Because it won't let me back up until I have more storage

Try Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.)

    I want o delete things from the cloud and do not knw where to go or what to do

    What things do you want to delete?  For example, to delete a backup, you need to go to Settings>icloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name, then on the resulting screen, tap Delete Backup.
    It all depends on what you want to delete - different things require different operations.

    iTunes purchases cannot be deleted but they can be hidden:

    Pictures can be deleted directly from your My Photo Stream album.
    Photo Stream & purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.

  • 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 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.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete contents in your iCloud storage from your device using settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage storage. Swipe the individual content to the left to reveal the delete button.

  • 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.
