Do you have old backups taking up space in your iCloud?

Have you ever wondered what it is that is taking up all the space in your iCloud?

Sometimes, the simple answer is that you have a old backup - perhaps from a device that you no longer use - stored in your iCloud.

When you upgrade your iPhone or iPad, the last backup from your previous device will remain in your iCloud until you remove it.  

Or, if you have previously shared your iCloud with someone else (and subsequently 'detached' them from your iCloud account), your iCloud may be holding a backup from a device that is not yours.

Find out how to 'clean up' old backups in your iCloud in this Handy Hint, available for iTandCoffee Club members any time.
