iCloud storage full notification: How to fix it

Does your iPhone show "iCloud Storage Full" whenever you download some files or airdrop some content? The free tier of iCloud storage is limited to just 5GB.

If there is still enough storage space and you receive a notification, these solutions will help you troubleshoot.

Remove the existing version of iCloud backup from your phone settings.

Step 1 – Open Settings.

Step 2 – You will find your Apple ID at the top of the Settings panel. Click on it to open it.

Step 3 – Open “iCloud” to open iCloud settings.

Step 4 – Swipe down a little and open “iCloud Backup” to open it.

Step 5 – In the Backup settings, you will find all your device backups there.

Step 6 – Open the first backup to open it.

Step 7 – On the following page, click on the “Turn off and delete from iCloud” option.

Step 11 – Click “Off” to disable this feature.

Step 12 – Turn off the “Back up data via phone” option if available.

Fix 2 – Delete iCloud Data

If you have completely filled up the allotted iCloud space, delete some content from your iCloud account to free it up.

Step 1 – Go to phone settings.

Step 2 – Touch your Apple ID to open it.

Step 3 – In the Apple ID page, open the “iCloud” settings.

Step 4 – Touch the “Manage Account Storage” setting to turn it on.

# Step 5 – This will show you a comprehensive view of your storage situation in iCloud settings.
