OK this was REALLY stupid of me. I read some blog on migrating from a "gmail online presence" so to speak, to iCloud. So to keep my stuff in one place I was going to transfer me mail over to iCloud. I didn't think and didn't realize that all my email on my gmail account is over 5GB. So I started it and went to bed. It didn't finish and now my iCloud account is locked (not locked out but won't take any more data including emails). The problem is, I can't DELETE the emails. I log into iCloud.com and select all messages and delete them and it errors out. I try to empty my trash and nothing happens.

Now what?
