I am trying to backup my iPad Pro to the iCloud. I have used 13.3GB of 50GB according to iCloud Storage on my iPad, but when I try to backup, it says I don't have enough storage. What is going on please?

Thank you.

What's the size of your backup? You can get that info by going to Settings > [Apple ID] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups > select your iPad Pro > Next Backup Size.

55.69GB! How has it got that big? Is there any way I can sort this please? My iPhone backs up to this account too.

Thank you.

I can't tell you why it's so big, but by going to the same location in settings, you can see the storage each app uses for the backup.
