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.

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

    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.

  • 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.)

    It all depends on what you want to delete - different things require different operations.

  • HT4847 How do I store things in my iCloud storage

    Please tell me how do I store things in the iCloud and use the 5 GB

    iCloud helps you to backup the data online. For example: you use Dropbox to save files, which are easily accessible on any computer, when you login with your email address & password.
    The same way, you can login with apple id & password on different devices. iCloud will stream the photos or download apps, automatically to other devices at the same time, if you purchased on your iPhone.
    So if I download, Angry birds on my iPhone, it will automatically gets downloaded on my iPad as well.
    Or if I buy a song from iTunes Store on my iPad, it will automatically appear on my iPhone.
    Apart from that you can save the following things on the iCloud Server
    Purchased music, movies,
    TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Hope this helps

  • HT4859 How do I delete photos from my icloud?

    I am sure I am just reading right over the information, but how do I delete photos saved in my iCloud to free up storage?

    Photo stream photos don't use your storage so deleting them won't help.  Only camera roll photos are in your iCloud account, and they are included (by default) in your iCloud backup.  This guide will explain how to exclude your camera roll from your backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  If you don't back them up to iCloud, be sure to import them to your computer or you will eventually lose them (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • 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.
