HT5824 how do i delete or move items from my icloud account to make more room?

I received a message on my iphone 4s that my icloud storage is full.  How can i move items to an external hard drive or remove files from the icloud storage.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The first thing to do would be to discover exactly what is filling your iCloud storage and then decide what you don't need.
You can see this information at settings > iCloud > Storage & BackUp > Manage Storage.

    How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

    You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod.  My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway.  Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
    You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to.  You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases.  If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All.  LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

    Hi,
    How do I remove an email address from my icloud account as I am no longer friends with this man and every time i type an s his email address comes up - I want this to stop

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

    How do I delete credit card info from my AppleID account profile?

    To remove it from your account, tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page from where you can change remove/change your payment details.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

  • How do i delete an old iPad from my iCloud? I have restored the iPad to factory settings but it is still showing in my iCloud.

    How do I delete an old iPad from my iCloud? I have restored the iPad to its factory settings and linked my new iPad however the old one is still showing in my iCloud.

    Hello Erin,
    You can and it depends on what you are referring to. For example, are you wanting to remove you old iPad from the Find My iPhone feature, you can do that at iCloud.com and the steps for that are in the first article. If you are wanting to delete an old back up, then check out the second article to walk you through those steps.

  • TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
    My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
    Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
    Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open.  How can I change this?

    When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open.  How can I change this?

    It should be an attachment.  Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message.  A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
    You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

  • How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

    How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

    You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone.  To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage.  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.
