My mail is making iCloud storage full

So I keep getting a message saying that my iCloud is almost full and my mail is taking up more than 3/4 of it. I have deleted so many messages from my phone. Most of the inbox and all of the junk and trash sections. This hasn't made the amout of storage that my mail takes up on iCloud go down at all. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do.

Use a computer browser and log into icloud.com. Go to the mail page and begin cleaning things up.

Did you get this fixed and how?

ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger! iPad is fine with same iCloud acct. can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

Icloud storage full. Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
ICloud storage full. I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing iCloud storage. I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet.
Makes no sense. I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage 3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

ANSWER to my Question above: YES.
I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account). I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew! It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB.
I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available. No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space.
[For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD. Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger. My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.]
(All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

Got email saying Icloud storage full. Yet, iCloud on mac

Got email saying Icloud storage full. Yet, iCloud on mac & Ipad shows 4.62 GB avail. of 5GB total. How do I find out what is exactly wrong?

Most likely nothing is, others have received this email but nothing happens. For now (unless you are having problem) ignore it.

Icloud storage full - manage storage

Hi,
So my ipad is saying that my icloud storage is almost full and it is preventing me from doing a lot of things.
I go to settings > icloud > storage and backup > manage storage
It says my ipad is using 63.2MB and Mail is using 113.8MB - this obviously does not add up to 5GB, yet my storage is saying I have used 4.8GB of 5GB on icloud.
I have tried deleting the back ups and even turning off back up to icloud. Then I turned the icloud back up on again and did a fresh back up and the result was still 4.8GB of usage wit the above statistics for ipad and Mail.
I am so confused. I am obviously not using 5GB of storage and don't want to purchase anymore, does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong!?
Thanks,
S

Icloud storage full

I've deleted everything from every folder in my icloud mail account (including trash) but still my icloud storage says it's full of mail. Any ideas??

Hi westie62,

I understand that you are trying to reduce the size of your email on iCloud. I know you have already gone through some great troubleshooting steps as well and the email size is not changing. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps that you have not yet completed in the following article.

Help, please. (iCloud storage full when it shouldn't be)

Hi folks. Need help re: iCloud storage. I own two Macs, an iPad (3rd gen), and iPhone 5. None of these uses iCloud for backups. My apps only take up about 20MB, and Mail takes up 407.8MB. And yet Settings says that my iCloud storage is full! I'm stumped and I don't know what else to do. Please help. Thanks.

........What do you mean by 'refreshing system preferences'? I just restarted my Mac before I checked but the same storage info is seen in my iPad and iPhone.
Yes, that's what I meant my restart.
What happens if you add, say a new pages document.
Hold down the alt key after opening the Finders 'Go" menu, choose 'Library' from the menu, look in 'Mobile Documents' and let me know what you see, you can look in various folders at will, but don't go moving or deleting anything. Look for any large unexplained documents.

Why is my icloud storage full, when I've disabled all apps from being backed up?

I saw my icloud storage was full, so i went into "manage storage" and turned off almost every app so it wouldn't back up to icloud.
it still shows that it's full. how/why?!

i just tried but it says it cannot backup bc there isn't enough space.
you can see in the screenshot that the next backup is 5.8 gbs. my camera roll is turned off and the apps that are checked off are very small so i really have no idea what's taking up so much space.

Why is my iCloud storage full when I bought a 32GB iPad mini?

When my mum bought me my iPad mini at Christmas (7 months ago), she bought me a 32GB and recently I have had notifications saying that my iCloud storage is full. I have deleted many apps and many photos, also when I try to delete the data of certain apps I don't want, the switch will turn to white (meaning it has been deleted) and when I go back onto Manage Backup the switch will be green ( meaning that it has obviously not been deleted). Why does this happen? Is it a problem with the iPad itself? My mum bought me the 32GB so problems like this wouldn't happen. Also writing this question my iPad has been running slow, is this because of my iCloud storage being full?
I just put this down to be that when you buy the iPad mini you get 5GB free for your backup and the other 32GB is for photos, apps etc. Is this what has happened I have used up the 5GB of iCloud backup? Or have I used up the full 32GB?
Thank you for taking the time to read and (hopefully) answer my question.

Apps, music, movies, sync'd photos from iTunes are part of iCloud backup.
You should turn off photo backup to iCloud and regularly sync your photos to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll.

Also writing this question my iPad has been running slow, is this because of my iCloud storage being full?
No.
Close all apps (double click Home then swipe up on all apps) then press & hold both Home & Power until you see the Apple logo.

ICloud storage and backup question

According to the most answers that I have been searched here in iCloud ,I found out that iCloud didn't back up all the photos on my photos stream (which I couldnt restore them later -_-") but pictures will be keep in iCloud photos stream just for only 30days Then will be deleted forever. As I experienced updating iOS recently,my phone was cracked during upgrading and I have to restore everything in my iPhone as a default factory setting. once I backup my photos from iCloud,I got only photos that I clicked back-up manually since 2012 :"( and all my new photos were not appeared forever. In this case,that iCloud didn't keep those photos,why my iCloud storage is showing full?? Any idea...pls advice..

Your iCloud backup only includes photos (and videos) in your camera roll. It doesn't included any photo stream photos. You are correct that photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. If you have photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll that you want included in your iCloud backup, you have to save them to your camera roll before performing the backup.

Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking here. If your question is why is your iCloud storage full, you can find out by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to find out what is using your iCloud 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.

I just deleted sent messages from mail, emptied the trash and now my iCloud storage is almost full. Is the mail client holding onto cached messages?

I was trying to open up some icloud storage by deleting a large chunk of emails and attachments from my sent folder. Those migrated tot he trash and I emptied the trash. Now I have a message telling my my iCloud storage is almost full. Is the mail holding on to cached emails and attachments or something? They don't show up in sent or trash. However if I do a search for the year 2012 (the year of emails I deleted) in the sent I can pull up this olds emails.

Hi there Chris,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you saw an iCloud storage alert and tried to free up some space but you're still running into the issue. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information about iCloud storage and should help you free up iCloud storage space.

How can I move my e mails from another provider on my I pad to icloud storage

I Have 15,000 e mails I have that I need to keep but would like to move them to the cloud how can I move them from my e mail account to the cloud they are using up 10gig of storage on my I pad and would rather use the icloud storage rather then the hard drive. It won't let me update the operating system due to the hard drive being too full. Please help

Use migration assistant, email it to the other computer or transfer the file using iChat.

Why is my iCloud storage almost full?

Ok now I have seen many questions like this on here before, but none of the answers or even the actual questions fit what my exact problem is.
On my iPhone and iPad, I constantly keep getting these notifications about how my iCloud storage is almost full and there is not enough room to back up my iOS device. When this notification pops up, it has the options to 'Cancel' or go to 'Settings'. Clicking setting brings me to the iCloud tab in the Settings app. Now in this, I go to 'Storage and Backup'. It shows I own 5.0 GB of storage, and about 50 something MB available. So naturally, I click 'Manage Storage' to maybe delete some data being backed up from apps that I dont often use or that contain to much data that I dont want backed up. I go to the iPhone backup tab, and I have every single app turned off to backup, but yet, it says my next backup size is 5.0 GB. I do not understand how this is even possible.
Also, under the iCloud tab that I clicked first, I have 'Mail', 'Contacts', 'Calendars', 'Safari', 'Notes', 'Photos', and 'Find My iPhone' all turned ON. 'Reminders', 'Passbook', and 'Documents & Data" are all OFF.
I understand most of the problem is the Photos and videos on everyone's iPhones. I regularly upload all photos and videos to my iMac, and also delete that I dont need or are not important from my iPhone often. I currently have about 2 dozen pictures on my iPhone, and no videos.
Maybe I am missing something, or forgot a step, but bottom line is I do not know exactly how to solve this problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi LongLiveRock,
You have indicated that you have turned off all of the Apps backup, but you have not indicated exactly what your Camera Roll, and other things that are being backed up are using.
Can you tell us what the total of each item that is being backed up is?
Cheers,
GB
