iCloud Messages "Top Conversations" storage discrepency

It says Messages takes up 2.9 GB total. I'm interested in deleting some, but the top conversations are only 88.8 MB: not worth deleting. Where is the rest of the data?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

See the part that says delete texts and attachments in messages - Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support.

It's an onerous task but you'll have to go through all message conversations to review.

Oh, that's dumb. I know that you can "Review Large Attachments" in the iPhone Storage settings. I can't imagine why that same feature isn't available for iCloud-saved attachments.

You will have to review some of those message texts as some may contain photos or videos.
