Hello, friends I ask for your help. Here’s the situation ios 11.4 There is no criticism. But on May 19, he made the last BACKUP in the iCloud, the size of 790mb. Since then he persistently wrote to me, he can not make a copy, because of lack of space. But the nuance is that, since the last copy of my settings have not changed, so that he had something else to copy. That is, the last copy made on the 19th day should not differ from the one (which should have been done), for example, 21th. I’ve rummaged in Google, there are standard cases for which I myself have the answer. I decided to wait for iOS 12, in the hope that a clean installation as a new phone will solve this problem. But nothing has changed. In this case, in the backup settings, the library and everything that can be large is turned off. That is, Ikeklade sucks only the Phone settings, Contacts and some data and several programs I need, even if you can not count, then 1 gigabyte there is hard to count. But why does he persistently consider 18.7 Gb and gives the problem of lack of space in the cloud. Those support did not help. Their answer is either make a copy on the computer, or buy less space. But this is not the answer you want to hear from them. The bottom line is that, I do not understand where he takes the 18Gb. I shoveled the whole phone. But I could not find them. How to be friends?
This can be confusing! Lets think of your phone and iCloud backup like a loose leaf binder (2 of them). So your phone has 50 pages in it today and you’ve just made a backup of your stuff to the iCloud so it too has 50 pages. Now its two days later and you’ve deleted 5 pages and added new 10 pages to your phones binder. Now you go to your iCloud binder and marked the 5 deleted pages as not needed but! you don’t remove them from the binder! You then add in the additional new pages so while your phone now has 55 pages and your iCloud binder now has in fact 65 pages! So looking at our simple example we can see the iCloud file is cumulatively added to no matter what you have on your phone this allows you to recover information that you deleted by mistake. In addition your iCloud storage can run out if you are making lots of alterations or additions to your files as well as each altered document also is saved in multiple copies. OK, How do I fix this?? Well I would just take the easy road here and pay the dollar per mouth for the added storage. If you don’t then you’ll need to disable your phones backup settings and then go to the iCloud file area on Apples server and manually delete the backup. Just keep in mind you will loose everything the backup had so no recovery afterwards!! Then once the files are gone re-enable the backup service on your phone and your current files will be backed up.
