To delete everything from your iCloud account, you need to follow several steps to remove photos, files, backups, and other data. Here's a comprehensive guide:

- Click on Photos.
- Select the photos or videos you want to delete, then click the Delete icon.
From iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Photos app.
- Go to Library > All Photos.
- Tap Select, choose the items you want to delete, and then tap the Delete icon.
Deleting Files from iCloud Drive
From iCloud Website:
- Log in to iCloud.com (https://www.icloud.com).
- Click on iCloud Drive.
- Select the files or folders you want to delete and click the Delete icon.
From iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Files app.

Deleting Backups from iPhone or iPad:

After deleting the data, ensure you check each category in iCloud to confirm that all unwanted data has been removed. If you wish to stop syncing certain apps with iCloud, you can do this in the iCloud settings by toggling off the apps you no longer want to back up or sync.
Following these steps, you can effectively delete everything from your iCloud account and free up storage space. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding with these deletions, as they cannot be undone.
How to Back Up iCloud Data:
- Launch EaseUS MobiMover on your computer and tap iCloud Manager.
- Sign into your iCloud account, and you can access your iCloud data on your computer.
- Click the 'Export iCloud Data to a Computer with one Click' option, and all the iCloud files will be downlaoded to your PC.
