How do I access the cloud to see what I have stored there

I keep getting notified my cloud storage is almost full. How do I access the cloud to see what’s there so I can delete stuff to make more room. I have no idea what’s been stored there.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

See instructions in : Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support


Also note the following:

On an iPhone, iCloud is designed to be viewed by using the apps on the device (e.g., the Files app for iCloud Drive, the Photos app for iCloud Photos, the Notes app for notes, etc.).


You can also use an internet browser and log into icloud.com. What you can access via a browser varies by device. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210402


And while you can view synced data as described above, it is not possible to view the contents of an iCloud Backup. You can only use the backup to do a full restore of a device or to setup a new device.
