i cloud storage

Hi, I have an external hardrive to which my desktop backs up my i mac as well as cloud cover with Curry Knowhow.

I am being pestered to increase my Apple i cloud storage- I did this to get 50gb now they say this is not enough and l need to increase to 200gb.

My question is - surely l don't need Apple i cloud cover as l already have the back up cover mentioned in paragraph 1 ??.

Also if l want to keep the 50gb i cloud cover, in black and white how and where do l find what's in it, so l can delete stuff that's redundrent now?

Please help xx

See the following Apple Support article for information on managing your iCloud storage: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

The major strength of iCloud (the you probably wouldn't get with Curry) is automatically syncing data with other Apple devices.

Major users of iCloud storage space tend to be iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive (including the Desktop & Documents option of iCloud Drive). If you have either or both of those turned on and they are the reason that you need more iCloud space and if you want to turn one or both off, see:
