So, I’ve realized, that iCloud Drive takes a 9,4 GB of storage on my iPhone. I’ve tried to delete everything, but it doesn’t help. I don’t even save anything to iPhone, I upload it directly to iCloud Drive. I can’t determine why does it take so much space, so I need your help. What should I do, to free space?
iPhone 7
Whatever you load in iCloud Drive stays on your phone. iCloud is a syncing service, not an external hard drive. After deleting the files, did you empty the Trash?

Yes, I’ve emptied the Trash. Also, iCloud Drive didn’t take so much space before, so why would it start it now? I’ve used it for a long time already. Thanks for reply
You are welcome. I don't know why it is taking so much space since I don't know what data you have on the phone.
Hmm, interesting. Now it shows that iCloud Drive uses only 800 MB, but I didn’t do anything. But now “Other System Data” takes 8,55 GB. I’ll try to do something about this. And thanks for your help!
You are welcome.
