Worked for me, 7.3GB shaved off lol

Hairy palms

It’ll be fine for a while and ill be using the 2TB then all of a sudden bam iCloud storage full then goes to 5GB and stays at 5GB, but if i leave the family sharing and join again it goes to 2TB then just like randomly go to 5GB again 🤔

Your the one that said you were on android for 18 years when it’s only been available for 14 since it released in 2008.

Oh, really? Huh. That’s odd. So no one else in your family sharing has experienced this problem? Only your device?

You say it happens randomly. Is it purely random, or are there any details at all you can give me about when and/or how often this occurs? Does it go back and forth between 5GB and the proper 2TB on its own? Have you gotten any kind of error message or warning in your iCloud settings when the storage goes down and syncing stops?

If you weren’t able to guess, I do tech support for a living, lmao. I wouldn’t mind investigating a little for ya. Just tell me as much as you can, and I’ll see what I can find out

My dad pays for the subscription, but it only seems to be me that’s seems to have this 5GB issue

Dammmnnn I hate that this is necessary, but huge thanks to you for discovering/posting this.

I’ve never gotten one even once in my life. Nor have I ever received a spam call. The only spam I get is on mail, and even there it’s never been a big issue. Wonder what I could be doing different, or if it just varies depending on what country you’re in.

Are you sure there were no problems with your subscription and payment method? That’s only ever happened to me when I didn’t have the funds when it came time for the monthly renewal charge

Took my 12 a good 20 minutes to clear 5 gigs out 10gb System Data. Overall, solid trick, thanks!

Same here

Siri is ill will wait to heal itself then 😂😂

Can confirm, it worked. Down from 9GB to 7.5GB, not much but it's definitely good for me

I’m not sure why people are so hung up in system data usage. In iOS, any surplus free space can be used as a swap or chache. It will be available if you have more data to write on device. In no way is all of that space locked up. Any space you “free up” using OP’s method was always available on your device whenever it was needed.

Had it on ios 12, location was on. Got fixed by itself

Only get rid of 1.5gb of 10.89, better than nothing (iPhone 12 mini, 64GB).

Wow! Reading the comments tells this has a very high success rate. I'll try this tonight. Thank you, much appreciated

Bro always checking his battery health %

I’ve not tried hard cases but I’m sure they’re durable, perhaps try looking for military grade drop protection? My current case is a soft case but with reinforced corners and my phone hasn’t even got a scratch on it which says a lot because I drop my phone way too much.

ISO data?

But what is better if my phone falls on the ground I don’t want a 1400€ phone to break
