ICloud invisible storage

Recently, I have damaged my iPhone and received a replacement by AppleCare. I restored from backup to iCloud and everything was fine. Now that I had restored I deleted the backup to recover space. The backup has disappeared, but the storage was still busy. If I go to "manage the storage" files add up to 2.5 GB. However, it is said that I only have 200 MB remaining. I should have at least 2 GB. It's like the never deleted backup. How can I delete the hidden file?

Backup has never been on your phone, just to iCloud that after you remove icloud you would not recover any storage.

  • ICloud photo storage

    Hello

    I will be backpacking for a month or two and probably will not have enough room on my phone to store all of the photos I take. I intend to upload them to iClould whenever I had the chance to connect to the Internet. I would ask if I wanted to delete the photos on my photo automatically deletes the photos on iCloud (I don't want it)?

    Thank you.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  • A small question about iCloud photo storage

    Hello

    I was wondering if once the internal memory of the iPhone is full iCloud will continue store photos? Or the phone must have storage for iCloud to store? I just want to know before you buy an extra 50gig.

    Thank you

    iCloud is NOT a hard drive in the sky.

    iCloud photo library is designed to synchronize photos between your device and your iCloud-storage space. If you choose the OPTIMIZATION setting, the device will have files small size phone while files are in iCloud. This can drastically reduce the needs of storage on your phone.

    The number of photos and videos on your device is always synchronized between your phone and iCloud. Remove deletions from one place to another.

    iCloud "will not continue storing the photos...» "for you.

    How can I limit the space used by photos in ios9 without deleting icloud?

In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to raise the space related issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.
