Can't remove iCloud backup after update to iOS 9

1. Can't remove iCloud backup after update to iOS 9 - both from the device and from OS X.

2. Every backup decreases free space in the iCloud account. And it can't be cleaned up because the previous backups a re invisible.


How can I fix the issues? Who can help with it? I have no space in iCloud and can't use my devices!

Memory in isloud 20 GB. backup to ...... is 1.4 GB. He writes there is no free space, which is, I can not make a backup copy. Ios 9.beta 2 iphone 6

Me too.


I can't see these "invisible" backups on any of my devices.


I only have a 5GB iCloud account, and on my mac it reports that there are 937MB of backups in iCloud but I've deleted all backups. Photo Library is only, but it only shows 3.6GB used for that, so I should have 1.4GB free space, not 400MB.

Hi!


What I just did in my phone to solve it:


1. Activate iCloud.

2. On iCloud settings, activate Backup and create backup from there.

3. On Storage, a backup of 0 KB appeared, I deleted it and then my storage was freed from ghost backup. However, in the iCloud settings, it appeared "3.2 GB available" so...

4. I restarted the iCloud settings and it showed me 5GB again.


From above can comfirm this works. You will have to do it on each device you think may have backup up to the icloud.


Note...Once you re-eanble backup, then on Setting>>Cloud>>Storage>>Manage Storage>> Device Name Backup, wait for this screen to populate with information (i.e the current backup file size in my case ipad 1.4GB & iphone 2GB) then icloud then select delete option below.

Back to Setting>>iCloud and turn off backup again. Bob's your uncle,


Managed to get 3.4GB back myself.
