    Deleted iPhone iCloud Backups, Backups Still Taking Up Space

    My wife got a notification on her phone that her iCloud drive was full and so backups could not be completed. I thought that was strange, because she really doesn't use her iCloud drive for anything but backups, and we both typically download our photos onto our Mac and delete them from our...
