Like the title says, I have officially run out of iCloud storage on my iPhone because Messages is taking up over 4.5 GB of storage space. However I do not have iMessage set up to use iCloud (although I might have in the past). I checked on all my devices. How do I recover that 4.5 GB of space?

You can delete the space that messages are taking within settings!
Settings > Name > iCloud > Manage Storage > Messages
This should allow you to free up the space in iCloud.
iCloud full because of Messages, but Messages does not use iCloud
