Hi guys, want to ask a question about storage.

I'm using the 64GB model cuz poorfag, lately checking my storage usage I see got this "icloud drive" with 8GB usage. I've untick all icloud sync except for Whatsapp because of the auto back up, so I'm sure the usage doesn't include any photos/videos.

Is there a way to remove this icloud drive? I'm just worried it will remove my Whatsapp text history.

Go to your iCloud setting and untick iCloud drive.

When i try to untick icloud drive, it says my Whatsapp changes will be lost, then the option to select is "Delete from iPhone". Does this means deleting the 8GB cache, or is it delete my Whatsapp data?

I only concerned in keeping the Whatsapp chat history, the pics and videos is ok to be removed.
It's been there for the whole 2 months aredi haha

Check in your files app, what is the 8GB consist of. If it is not important, you can just delete it. To be safe, just backup your whatsapp chat (in whatsapp chat backup setting) first before deleting any files.

Hope this helps!
