Hello, I hope this is in the right place, apologies if not.
I currently have 5GB iCloud storage which has been sufficient for years and has always hovered about 2-3GB includng iPhone and iPad backups and a small amount on Drive . Just recently it has reached its limit. It shows 1.89GB in use for Messages. I have deleted all photos, videos and other sundry attachments from all messages on my devices (including iMAC) with no reduction in the iCloud storage being shown.
iPhone storage for Messages shows 33.5MB and iPad 341.6MB (I assume these should be the same if synced as well?), I don't use Apple Mail. In fact I don't have a great number of messages anyway as the device storage would indicate.
Am I wrong to expect some space to be recovered? I know I can stop syncing and download the messages, but if I turn on syncing again presumably it's back to square one?
If I've missed something fundamental here then I'm sorry for troubling the forum!
Thanks
Terry
