Hi,

So my ipad is saying that my icloud storage is almost full and it is preventing me from doing a lot of things.

I go to settings > icloud > storage and backup > manage storage

It says my ipad is using 63.2MB and Mail is using 113.8MB - this obviously does not add up to 5GB, yet my storage is saying I have used 4.8GB of 5GB on icloud.

I have tried deleting the back ups and even turning off back up to icloud. Then I turned the icloud back up on again and did a fresh back up and the result was still 4.8GB of usage wit the above statistics for ipad and Mail.

I am so confused. I am obviously not using 5GB of storage and don't want to purchase anymore, does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong!?

Thanks,

S

What about your photos? Are you pushing those up to iCloud?
