How do I free up space on iCloud when I have already deleted many photos and turned off iCloud photos but not "my photo stream"?
To remove Photos (Photo Library) from iCloud backup:


Please open Settings/ your name iCloud
Open Storage/Manage Storage
Open Backups (iOS12) / select the backup for your iPhone
Switch off the Photo Library - this will exclude the Photo Library from the backup (you can do it while backup in progress)
Tap Turn Off &amp; Delete (if already exists)
