iCloud storage full even though very few files

Hi,

I have very little iCloud space left due to it saying I only have a few MB left. I have deleted all the files that I don't need off my computer and when I looked it said it is only about 226MB worth of files. Then why does it say I have used up over 4.9GB worth when I can not locate those files? How can I go about reviewing those files and deleting them as needed?

The deleted files can be found see this article https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT203052

Where to find missing files

When you turn on iCloud Drive, any documents that you already store in iCloud automatically move to iCloud Drive. You can see your files on iCloud.com, in the Files app on iOS 11 and later, in the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps, or in the iCloud Drive app on iOS 10 and iOS 9.

If you don’t see your files in any of those locations, set up iCloud Drive on all of your devices.

If you need to access a file that you deleted within the last 30 days, you can get it back from the Recently Deleted folder in the Files app, or on iCloud.com.


Not only files store the iCloud space , the other applications like photos , notes ...also consume the space see the brief details in this article https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2608?locale=en_US

You can reduce the space see this article https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204247
