HT201065 How do I delete things from iCloud

My iCloud is almost full. I dont think I need to purchase additional storage because I dont believe I'd use it. I went through and deleted a bunch of my pics and a few apps and turned off backups on everything but my photos. It's still saying almost full. How to a clean up and make more storage?

iTunes purchases cannot be deleted but they can be hidden:

or pictures I have hard copies of.
Pictures can be deleted directly from your My Photo Stream album.
Photo Stream & purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.

HT4910 How do I delete things from iCloud?

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.

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 do I delete movie from iCloud on my iPad

How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

TS4009 How do I delete apps from iCloud?

How do I delete apps from iCloud?

You can't at this time. Apple FAILED to permit iCloud user with ability to delete programs that you deleted from your iPad/iPhone devices. As great iCloud is just know that if you download an app and don't like it you stuck with it in the cloud dispute you deleting it from your device.
APPLE, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS? At least make it a belated Christmas gift to you fellow Apple clients. PLEEEEEEASSSSSSE! Thank you!

My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

You can just tap Delete Back Up, you don't need to turn off iCloud.
Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud. It doesn't do anything the the data currently on your phone. You will want to create a new backup as soon as possible after doing this, however, as you won't have one until your do. You can either intiate this manually to create one immediately by connecting your phone to your charger and to wifi, then going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now at the bottom (this will take some time to complete the first time), or you can just connect it to your charger and wifi before you go to bed and it should back up automatically (and continue to do so once daily).
You don't need to manually connect your phone to your computer to back up to wifi, but it's a good idea to create a second backup using iTunes occasionally in case your iCloud backup ever fails (I do this weekly). To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. (Your phone will continue to automatically back up to iCloud daily; this is just a second, manual backup, on your computer.)

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?

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

How do you delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having them deleted from devices?

I need to delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having those files deleted from all my devices. How do I do that?

Just got off the phone with Apple customer service. It seems there is no around this problem. Once you use iCloud, you're screwed. The day you decide you don't want to have certain files store in iCloud, but you still want the files accessible on your computer, you have to spend valuable time copying/hiding a set of files on each device, and then re-setting up those same files in each device they way they should be once you delete them out of iCloud. Same thing if you decide to cancel your lCloud account.
No software should have the ability to hijack your data this way.

How to retrieve deleted photos from iCloud?

Hey there!
I really need some help. Yesterday, I was trying to move photos from my camera role into another album. However, i accidently selected 'delete everywhere'. Before doing this though, my phone was plugged in,locked, on charge which should mean that the photos were backed up on iCloud right? But i don't know how i can get them from iCloud.
I did have photostream turned on my phone, but not my Ipad with which the whole storage thing was connected to. Is there any way of retreiving those photos?Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Anyone..?

I have a book I want to delete in iBooks I can't delete it because iCloud keeps reinstalling it how do I delete it from iCloud

Welcome to the Apple community.
The books are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the books in the Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.
Alternatively, create another category in iBooks and just put the books you want in there and ignore the purchased books category.
