Hi, I have 685kb of data in iCloud - I have no idea what it is or where it came from, pretty much all sharing is off. I've been through my mac and iphones and can't find any reason for the data to be there - I'm guessing it might either siri or health before I switched them off. I've logged into iCloud via the browser and made sure none of the contacts, calendar etc are storing data - can anybody point me in a direction that may either allow to work what Apple is storing or just clear it all out ? Thanx. (I'm not seeking a discussion on the pros and cons of icloud).

Have you tried right clicking on the file or folder and deleting?
Thanks the problem - the settings window on icloud.com tells me it's using 685kb - so does my iphone - in 'docs' but there are no docs, files data anywhere to select - just the summary - I've been thorough all the mail -contacts etc all empty

If you want to find out exactly what the data is, log into AppleID.apple.com and then scroll down the page and request to download your iCloud data. In a few days, Apple will make your actual iCloud data available for download via a zip file. Once downloaded, you will be able to see what the actual file(s) are

You need an iPad or Mac to delete iCloud data.

Thanks, it's probably nothing but I'm having a spring clean - old apps, data etc !
