iCloud backup of iPhone used 2.7gigs, mostly photos - how do I delete the backup?

[Sean Dempsey]

Before I could change the settings, the iPhone backed up a bunch of stuff to the iCloud. I only wanted to do contacts, but it managed to get 2.9 gigs of photos up there.

I don't want anything stored in the iCloud but my contacts, but even when I go into the iPhone iCloud preferences and turn it all off and "delete" the data when it asks, it still shows my iCloud as being over half full.

How can I go about emptying the iCloud of all those photos and videos?

Think I can go to iCloud settings, storage and backup, mange backup then pick device and there should be a delete option. Then u just need to start again.

Hope this helps!

I believe that's an iTunes change when you have your iPhone connected. Click on your iPhone and under the summary tab there's a selection to backup to iCloud or your computer.
