How to delete backup data in icloud to free up storage space?

My iphone 4s has not been backed up in 3 weeks because it says "there is not enough iCloud storage available". Through viewing the data sizes currently backed up in iCloud, the Camera Roll is taking up 99% of the space. I deleted almost everything from the camera roll and photo stream on the actual iphone device, but what do I need to do in order for the storage space to be freed? Is there another place I need to check to delete data (i.e. photos) and regain the storage space available and resume successful backups?
Many thanks,
SM

So by selecting "Delete Backup" it will delete everything backed up to iCloud from other apps as well, correct? Is there anywhere I can go to view the actual data being backed up and specifically delete certain data? Without knowing exactly what has been backed up, I'm hesitant to delete everything.

  • How to delete all my photos from my iphone for storage space

    my photos are taking up a large portion of the storage on my phone...i've uploaded them to my computer and now i'd like to delete them all so i have more room for music. how can i delete them for good on my phone? is there any way to delete the following albums (or at least the pictures from the albums) : events from my mac, faces from my mac, and the last 12 months album. i just want to be able to put more music on my phone but my pictures are taking up more than half of the storage! please help

    If you've synced photos to your iPhone through iTunes, change your sync settings in iTunes to not sync any photos and apply the change.
    That will remove all synced photos, but not photos that you've taken with your iPhone's camera -- for those if you've imported them to your computer then to remove them you have to delete them one by one from the iPhone, or use your computer (assuming you have a Mac, iPhoto should allow you to select and delete what's stored on the iPhone, except for synced photos via iTunes).
    Then there's iCloud photos.  iCloud only holds the last 30 days of photos, but your device will continue to hold them up to the 1000 photo limit, regardless of how old they are.  To reduce these, you can delete one by one, or if you Restore your iPhone that will strip off all iCloud photos, and add back only the last 30 days of iCloud photos, assuming you leave the Photo Stream setting ON in iCloud settings.

  • If I delete my backup date from iCloud from my 4s will I still have all my data on my phone so I can do an up to date back up?

    Is there anyway that I can delete the data from iCloud with out it loosing data on my current phone so I can do an up to date back up to put on my 5s?

    You don't need to delete the backup, just backup your new phone to icloud.

  • What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
    Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

  • How do I restore data from icloud to iphone

    how can i restore data from icloud to iphone

    You mean an iCloud backup?  If so, first make sure your phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that backed up was running.  If it isn't, you'll have to update it first in order to restore the backup.
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

    how to delete multiple data domains with single step ?

    You can go to your Endeca-Server domain home e.g.($WEBLOGIC-HOME$/user_projects/domains/endeca_server_domain/EndecaServer/bin)
    run
    [HOST]$ ./endeca-cmd.sh list-dd
    default is enabled.
    GettingStarted is enabled.
    endeca is enabled.
    BikeStoreTest is enabled.
    create a new file from the output just with the domains that you want to delete and then create a loop
    [HOST]$ vi delete-dd.list
    default
    GettingStarted
    endeca
    BikeStoreTest
    [HOST]$ for i in $(cat delete-dd.list); do; ./endeca-cmd.sh delete-dd $i; done
    Remember that this can not be undone, unless you have a backup.

  • How to delete the data from partition table

    Hi all,
    Am very new to partition concepts in oracle..
    here my question is how to delete the data from partition table.
    is the below query will work ?
    delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)
    we have define range partition ...
    or help me how to delete the data from partition table.
    Thanks

    delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)This approach is wrong - as Andre pointed, this is not how partition tables should be used.
    Oracle supports different structures for data and indexes. A table can be a hash table or index organised table. It can have B+tree index. It can have bitmap indexes. It can be partitioned. Etc.
    How the table implements its structure is a physical design consideration.
    Application code should only deal with the logical data structure. How that data structure is physically implemented has no bearing on application. Does your application need to know what the indexes are and the names of the indexes,in order to use a table? Obviously not. So why then does your application need to know that the table is partitioned?
    When your application code starts referring directly to physical partitions, it needs to know HOW the table is partitioned. It needs to know WHAT partitions to use. It needs to know the names of the partitions. Etc.
    And why? All this means is increased complexity in application code as this code now needs to know and understand the physical data structure. This app code is now more complex, has more moving parts, will have more bugs, and will be more complex to maintain.
    Oracle can take an app SQL and it can determine (based on the predicates of the SQL), which partitions to use and not use for executing that SQL. All done totally transparently. The app does not need to know that the table is even partitioned.
    This is a crucial concept to understand and get right.

  • How to delete selective data in a cube

    Hi all,
    Can any one tell me, how to delete selective data in a cube. For example if i want to delete data corresponding particular Matrial Id  or particular Customer ID (say C400) ? And even deleting the data based on particular Request numer.?
    Sandy.

    Hi,
    RSMO > Infocube > Manage > contents tab > selective deletion
    Then define your selections for deletions (Matrial Id or particular Customer ID (say C400)).
    Request based deletions can be done directly from Request tab.

  • How to delete aggreagetd data in a cube without deleting the Aggregates?

    Hi Experts,
    How to delete aggreagetd data in a cube without deleting the Aggregates?
    Regards
    Alok Kashyap

    Hi,
    You can deactivate the aggregate. The data will be deleted but structure will remain.
    If you switch off the aggregates it wont be identified by the OLAP processor. report will fetch the data directly from the cube. Switching off the aggreagte won't delete any data,but temporarly the aggregate will not be availbale as if it is not built on the info cube. No reporting is not possible on swtiched off aggregates. The definition of the aggregate is not deleted.
    You can temporarily switch off an aggregate to check if you need to use it. An aggregate that is switched off is not used when a query is executed.This aggregate will be having data from the previous load's. If the aggregate is switched off means it wont be available for reporting but data can be rolled up into it.
    If u deactivate the aggregates the data will be deleted from the aggregates and the aggregate structure will remain the same.
    The system deletes all the data and database tables of an aggregate. The definition of the aggregate is not deleted.
    Later when you need those aggregate once again you have to create it from scratch.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    How to delete some date in target table at a mapping?
    I extract date from source tabel into target table,
    but before extract date I want to delete some date from target?
    how to do?

    Just to change a bit of terminology in the reply, within the mapping, click on operator properties and choose TRUNCATE/INSERT.
    Note that truncate is dependent on constraints, so you probably must disable those before doing this. You can of course do DELETE/INSERT...
