“iCloud cancellation for region change and iPhone storage concerns: Hello, I have an Icloud subcription, which I pay with my Turkish bank card.

To successfully change the location, you need to zero-out your balance. So, to do that, you need to purchase something that is more than what is in your Apple Account balance. Or, give Apple Support a call, asking the Apple Rep to zero it out. Go Here: Change your Apple Account Country or Region - Apple Support

Managing Storage:

A. Download All of iCloud Drive to an External Drive:

One thought would be to download all of iCloud, and then search through it in Finder on a Mac. You would download it to an external drive, and then open the drive in Finder.

Then, trash all of iCloud. Once trashed,

iCloud Drive will be down to zero storage. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External
