    Just backed up my camera roll to laptop - reducing from 3.5gb to 800mb

    However when manage my storage in iClould - it is still showing as 3.5gb.
    Will that eventually drop to 800mb??? My next backup is still over 3.5gb.

    I know I can turn off camera roll backup and turn on again - that will sort it alright.

    You'll have to turn off camera roll backup or else it will keep backing up to iCloud.

    Oh, so you deleted the camera roll from the phone? In that case iCloud should automatically delete the old backup after a while. Or you could just delete it manually and backup again.

    Yeah deleted most of it (have 800 mb still) .... I'm guessing my iCloud should shrink once my backup with the full camera roll is gone
