What's taking up all my iCloud storage

I don't know what's taking up all my iCloud storage even though I only have two items in there that total to 14.1 mb only.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I note you have been using back up. Data that has been written to iCloud storage and has since been deleted can still show up on your usage even though the space is still available. I'd monitor the situation and if adding new content still results in your available space being removed, I'd contact support.

    My iCloud backups for my iPhone and iPad will not backup because there is no more space. All the space is being taken by my mail.

  • What's taking up all my ipad storage

    I've got a 16gb ipad 2, I've got no photos, videos or movies on it but I'm apparently using up 13.5gb.  How?  Checked my apps and although I have a few none they don't take up more than 1-2gb. Tried resetting etc but still no luck, this surely cant be right, any help appreciated

    If you connect your iPad to iTunes, you will see exactly what each item is using in  a multi-colored bar along the bottom of the page. It'll show music, video, photos, apps, books, and other (which is the operating system, I believe).
    Some Apps, even if they appear small, may then download more data once you enter the game.

  • HT201656 In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8G of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?

    In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8GB of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?
    On the iphone itself under settings, general, usage it indicates 12.7GB used and only 840MB available.  I have one app (Audible) that is taking up 1.6GB, photos&camera take up 636MB, Spotify takes up 495MB, everything else takes up less less than 100MB each and totalling less than 2.5GB.
    So if Audible is taking up 1.6GB and Spotify is taking up 636MB and all other apps take up 2.5GB this combined totals around 5GB.  I have a 16GB iphone 4s. 
    16GB minus 5GB (my calculated usage) equals 11GB remaining.  Allow for some required space utilization (let's say 3GB) and that leaves 8GB remaining.  Why does my phone indicate 840MB available?  That seems to equate to the amount shown in itunes that indicates 8GB of "other".
    What is this 8GB of "other" that is taking up so much storage space on my iphone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • What is taking up all my space?

    I have an 16 GB iPad mini that says its using 6 GB of space, but my apps don't even come close to that amount of space. How can I find out what is taking up all my space? I know people will say to back up my iPad and restore, but I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7, so that is not an option for me. Thanks so much in advance!

    If you are still on iOS 6 on your mini, you may have gotten the auto-pushed iOS 7 update download on your device. Check your device under Settings>General>Software Update. If you have a button there labeled "Install" for the iOS 7 update, the update has been pushed to your device by Apple without your knowledge or permission, then extracted from an approx 1GB download file to a ~3.1GB installation package which is now using ~3.1GB of your storage space. It happened to my iPad mini along with an 8GB iPhone 4 (~2.5GB - 3GB of space robbed from an 8GB device) as well. The actual size of the update after extracted can vary between ~2.5GB to over 3.1GB depending on the device.

  • How do i find out what is taking up all  of my gb on my iphone 4

    I do i find out what is taking up all of my gb on my iphone 4? I have deleated all of my pictures, music, and games. There is nothing left in the usuage column to deleate but it says i have used 3.8. Where is it hiding?

    What is using 3.8GB of space?
    If looking at the summary tab in iTunes, what specifically is taking up space?
    If looking in Settings > General > About on the device, what specifically is taking up space?
    You have the device in front of you, so you can determine what is taking up space.  We only have the information provided by the user to go on.

  • What is taking up all the space on the hard drive?

    My 500GB iMac is only 18 months old, and only has 115GB available. The two big users of space for me are iTunes, and iMovie, which between them account for 175 to 200GB. But what is taking up all the rest? I have a lot of photos in iPhoto, but am not sure how to find the usage of those, and doubt they account for a huge chunk. I use lots of apps, but do not have a significant number of additional programs, nor any presentations, spreadsheets, or other big users of space.
    I would appreciate any suggestions for places to look for bug users of space. Also, are there any programs as there are in Windows for disk optimization?

    I didn't mention iTunes, because it shouldn't have it's own trash. iMovie has it's own trash for what you trim from the original content when creating a video. This allows for undoing changes. Once the project is complete, you probably don't need those deleted clips - and they can take up a lot of space. I am not aware of this behavior changing in the new iMovie, but it may not have the same interface for clearing the trash as the previous versions.

  • What is taking up all my memory?

    My computer keeps maxing out of memory. Is there an easy way to find out what is taking up all the memory without hitting the command + i keys for each program or purchasing such a program?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    Cmd-I does not show memory. I think you are confusing memory with HD usage.
    Memory is RAM. HD space is a completely different animal, having nothing to do with memory.
    When you say your computer is maxing out of memory, exactly what to you mean? RAM or HD space

  • I seem to have used all my iCloud storage 15gb but I'm not sure I'm managing this wisely. Can anyone tell me what to do

    I recently upgraded to 15gb of iCloud storage. Before I knew it it's full again and sometimes I'm trying to take a photo or video something and it won't work because of storage issues. Could someon advise me on how to manage all the devices to iCloud. What should be up there? We have an iMac, iPad, 2 x iPhone 3 & iPhone 4. The kids have loads of apps not sure if this is a problem. Help anyone.

    You can read this and see if it is of any help to you.
    iCloud: Managing your iCloud Storage
    My personal opinion is use the Mac for the backups and only rely on iCloud as your secondary backup. Transfer all of your personal videos onto your Mac - import them using iPhoto. Transfer any purchased movies into iTunes using the Transfer Purchase feature.
    Anything that you purchased from iTunes, or the App Store do not count against the 15GB of storage that you have. However, the data in apps will count against that amount of space. If the kids have lots of games that could be eating up space, that can be a bit of an issue. Too many old email messages can be removed. you have to decide how you want to manage the storage. What is important to keep and what you can remove.
    These might prove to be helpful to you.

  • HT204570 iCloud photo library taking up all available iPhone storage

    Recently upgraded from iPhoto to iCloud Photo library.  It's great, except that it's now taken up all available storage space on my iPhone and I can't even take additional pictures on it.  If I delete any pics from my iPhone (to try and free up space), it deletes them from my library and from all of my other devices (Mac mini, MBP, iPad, etc.).  I don't want to get rid of the photos, I just want to remove some from the iPhone so that I can actually use the phone.  My iCloud Photo library is rather large, and I pay for additional iCloud storage just to be able to accommodate it, but understandably so, my iPhone storage can't accommodate the full library, and I wouldn't expect it to, either.

    I've had a similar problem.  For me the best solution is to save the photos to my Mac, and then delete them from my phone.  This does not however solve the problem with not wanting them to be gone on other devices.  Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to exclude a device from having the photo deleted off of it (Wink*Wink* Apple- iOS 9/OS X 10.11? Cough*Cough*).  Anyway as for saving space, for me, if I turn off iCloud photo library and then turn it back on again, it will make a lot of space open up.  Note: still not total space.  I assume that you have a lot of music/photos/apps or something because I have this problem on my 16 GB iPhone, but I don't see how a 64 Gb iPhone can accidentally run out of room.  In conclusion, try turning off iCloud Photo Library on and off again.  This is my best solution, and it works for me pretty well.  Anyway, I hope this helped.

  • HT5527 How do I know what is taking up most of my storage in iCloud?

    I keep getting a message on my IPhone4s that it cannot be backed up to ICloud becuase there is not enought storage.
    I thought apps, Itune songs, purchased books and Photos don't count towards the 5 free Gigs?
    It must be data but I dont have it save any mail, just Contacts, Reminders, Calandar, Find my phone, Photo Stream & Documents & Data
    When I look on my phone settings, manage storage it shows
    IPhone 4S is 4.4 GB
    IPad4 is 96 MB
    IPod is 51 MB
    Documents & Data 30.3 MB
    Medical app is 30.0 MB
    Preview is 39.5 KB
    430 MB available of 5.0 GB on ICloud
    If I click on the preview line all is says is Documents & Data 39.5 KB there is no way to turn off/not save preview. But I don't understand what I don't have enough storage. I removed sync ITunes sonds off my Iphone & only play them on my I Pod. I use the IPhone for my apps.
    Any idea whats taking up so much storage? And how do I delete apps that are saved in my I cloud that I no longer want?
    Thank you for any help,
    D.

    Photo stream photos don't count against your storage but the photo and videos in your camera roll are part of the backup and do.  As you said, purchased media doesn't.  All of your text messages and their attachments are also included in the backup so you might check to see if you have lots of photos and videos in your messages.
    You might also want to connect the phone to iTunes and check the usage bar graph to see how large "Other" is.  Sometimes that can't get extremely large, leading to large backups.

  • What is taking up all my memory on ipad?

    I have 2nd generation iPad. I have deleted down to 5 apps and 6oo pictures. It's say I have only 800 megabytes left of memory. But each of apps only use 5-50 megabytes. It says I have used 13gb used. How can this be. What is using so much. What can I do?

    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
     Cheers, Tom
