Icloud storage - still not empty!

I have deleted all e-mails to have a more space:
1. "Iphone 5" (also experienced mass deleting email problem, found some solution on the internet)
2. "icloud.com mail", managing emails and also deleted those emails
...so both are empty 100 %
There are no emails... I`ve emptied trash, emptied junk, inbox...sent items...I checked every folder...
But I have "only" 3.4 GB of total 5 GB memory?!
Where are those email stored - 1.6 GB?!
When I went to manage storage, it shows me "Mail 1.6 GB", like it is used...
I turned off all backup options (never been turned on), my photo stream options etc.
I do not know how to solve that issue?!
Maybe it is just counting issue, maybe have all 5 GB free, just shows it wrong?!

It might be an iCloud storage buffering issue, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873. Sometimes this will adjust when another iCloud feature tries to use the space.

HT4847 iCloud Storage still full even have emptied the Mail trash

Hi all.. I have problem with my iCloud Storage. I've deleted all the messages in Mail Application on iCloud.com and empty the trash also. But my iCloud storage still full, and the information from "Manage Storage", there are 4.2 GB data still on my Mail..
What should I do? please help..

Probably not. I have exactly the same problem. Had 2.1GB of Mail in storage. Deleted all mail from my Mail account.
Emptied trash.
No effect. still 2.1GB of Mail, which, together with 2.7 GB of other backups etc, means my iCloud storage is full.

My ipad mini icloud storage will not drop below 2.5 GB.

My ipad mini icloud storage will not drop below 2.5 GB. I have deleted/OFFed everything. Still at 2.5?!?! I have removed and restored account. Still at 2.5. When I turn on larger apps like iMovie and garage band, it will go above 2.5, but never below. I have turned off all apps and all things like mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari, photo stream, and documents. Still 2.5. I also have an iPhone linked to the account it is using 911 mb's of storage,
I will not buy more storage.
Hopefully someone can figure this out
Thank-you,
Jeanmarie

When you turn off mail, contacts, etc on your devices, that does not remove them from the icloud server; it just prevents the data from syncing to the device. Your email, for example, remains on icloud until you delete all of it. Same for contacts, etc. Have you done that?

ICloud trash can not empty

When I select empty trash on iCloud mail. I get the message:
Cannot empty folder.
This folder can not be emptied at this time
Clicking OK dismisses the window and no messages have been deleted. I have tried this from more than one Mac, all get the same response.
How can I empty the trash on my account?
Thanks,
Mike

My problem was fixed. Here's some details.
I contacted Apple for help and they were immediately available and very helpful. The first person I talked to admitted that the account was showing other issues on his end and he was not sure how to correct it so he bumped it up to the next level. The second person quickly saw some bigger issues and suggested that "engineering" get involved. I was told that there should be a resolution in a day or two.
Not waiting for an email I contacted the second level guy two days later. He wanted to make sure that the iCloud account was set up and enabled (I had disabled it) in Mail on the computer. He asked me to select Mail > Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items in the iCloud account. I wasn't sure why I was doing this since the Trash was empty and storage was still showing 4.5GB for Mail, but I did as I was instructed.
After I did that I checked the storage again and it showed 3.8GB! A few minutes later it had dropped to 618KB!
I asked what they did and he indicated that apparently their servers did not pick up my request to delete soooo many emails at one time. I had selected almost all of the email to delete all at the same time.
Whether there's more to it than that I'm not sure, and I don't care. I do know that before I called them there was a problem and after I called them there is no longer a problem. The key to all of this might be the Bold part above, though.
I will say they were very quick to assign someone to me (within a minute), and very accommodating, and quick to resolve the problem.
I think the original problem stemmed from trying to delete such a huge amount of email at one time. I don't think I will do that again.

Trying to download tv series bought iCloud storage still saying go to settings and manage storage! Help, Trying to download tv series bought iCloud storage still saying go to settings and manage storage! Help

Please help ! I have bought a tv series from I tunes and some have downloaded and it will not finish so I bought I cloud and its still saying manage your storage in settings don't need to plug my i pad in ? I barley use this !! Help !!!!!!

Since you have never synced with iTunes before, you need to make the iTunes library your syncing library first. Read this very informative user tip for the instructions on how to do that.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
After you have transferred all of your purchased content into iTunes, you can safely delete anything that you want to delete on the iPad itself in order to make room for your TV Shows.

Icloud photos still not syncing with windows 8.1

i've tried all the solutions i can find on the web such as reinstalling icloud 3.1, installing old versions of icloud from my cache, stopping processess realting to icloud and deleting files in the appdata/apple computer / mediastream but not one of these methods have resolved the issue of the photos updating in photostream. rebooting my pc and not rebooting when i unistall or reinstal iCloud. The weird thing is photos in other shared folders within my iCloud photos folder which i've created update but not the photos in the my photo steam folder. All other aspects of icloud update work fine such as outlook contacts . i have a 4s phone so dont know if that makes any difference. does anyone have a new solution i have missed somewhere???

[b]Fixed it, had to delete the folder where the My Photo Stream was. I just created a backup of it and then deleted it, let iCloud re populate the folders and it came back.[/b]

TS3992 Phone running out of storage space, bought 15GB of iCloud storage...still not working

My phone was running out of storage space so my friend suggested I backup my files to iCloud. After doing this and paying for 15GB, I still am unable to take any new photos. This did not open up new space for me and it says there is still 7.7GB available. HELP. My friend who told me to do this said it worked for her and she has 25GB. My phone allowed me to take screenshots before and now I can't save anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help here?

This more than likely means you are running out of Space LOCALLY on your Device and you need to Delete Data OFF your Device...
If this is the case... Getting Additional iCloud Storage will not fix your issue.

HT204053 I changed my Apple ID and my icloud storage in my IPad was not transferred to my new ID, how can you help me?

I changed my Apple ID and my icloud storage was not transferred to the new one, how can I retrieve it?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. However, with iOS 7, you must provide the password for the old ID to turn of Find My iPhone before you can delete the account.
If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

TS4009 storage upgrade to iPod appears to be activated, but still not able to 'use' the extra capacity. Device will not allow extra downloads..?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Purchasing additional iCloud storage will not give you additional storage on your device.

HT4859 How do I move my icloud storage to a different pc?

I set up my iCloud on a laptop and I really want to move it to my PC but do not know if I can do it and would appreciate input from the group. Thanks.

Icloud storage is not on any laptop or pc it is on Apple server. If you just want PC synced with icloud you need to install icloud control panel (link below) before you do that you may want to research a bit to understand what you want, cause I feel like you do not know.

I upgraded my iCloud storage but I keep getting messages that say haven't got enough storage?

I purchased some more storage in iCloud for my iPad but I keep getting the message that I don't have enough storage and my iPad hasn't updated to shoe the extra storage. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing a step?

Buying iCloud storage will not add storage capacity to your iPad.
iCloud storage is in the cloud (i.e. On the Internet). There is no way to increase the storage capacity of your iPad. You'll need to remove some content to make space.

HT4847 how do I purchase iCloud storage for family plan membe?

My wife had her own iCloud storage upgrade but the card on her storage expired. Prior to the expiration I added her to iCloud family as a parent/guardian. Now, her storage upgrade has expired and she can't change it because she's on the family plan. She spoke to iCloud support and they said basically I have to buy it for her. How do I do that? Why must this be so hard? I've searched for solutions but can't seem to find Apple-authored solutuons that deal with this specific situation and don't see anywhere on my iphone where I can buy or share storage for her.

I should add...her iphone, when trying to change her icloud storage, still shows that her card has expired and only allows me to re-enter the CVV code. There doesn't seem to be any other option.

Can i pay iCloud storage by voucher

I have a USA iTunes account but do not have a USA CC. Can i use apple vouchers to pay for iCloud storage?

Not sure what you mean by vouchers, but here is what Apple says about paying for iCloud Storage:
Accepted payment methods for iCloud storage upgrades include credit cards, debit cards, and iTunes Store credit. If you don't have enough iTunes store credit to complete your upgrade, you'll be charged the remaining amount. Apple Store gift cards aren't accepted as payment for upgrading iCloud storage. Learn how to manage the amount of storage you're using

Whats the difference in regular storage and icloud storage?

Trying to download i0s 7my iphone 4 says not enough storage, go to manage storage. I upped my icloud storage thinking, this would do the trick and increase reg storage. Puzzled.

What you call regular storage is storage that is in the device. iCloud storage is on the network and not in the device.
In order to download iOS 7, you need sufficent storage in the device.
Storage on the network or iCloud storage will not work for that purpose.
You might try do the upgrade to iOS 7 by connecting you iPhone to your computer then doing the upgrade from iTunes. By doing that storage on your computer will be used instead of on your iPhone. This will reduce the amount of storage needed.

My iPad keeps freezing! Any idea why? iCloud storage is completely 100% available.

My iPad keeps freezing. iCloud storage is completely empty. I have 2.3 GB available of the total 13.6. Please help!! This is starting to become a pain in my butt.

With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. I suggest that you delete some stuff to allow for more free space on your iPad. It will run better.

Icloud storage - still not empty!
