I have got only 50 mb of files. But iCloud drive takes space in iPhone storage as 3.7 gb. There is a note that it caches files for fast access but no button to clear the cache. I need my GB space back. Please help.

Then this is what you're looking for -- About storage on your device and in iCloud - Apple Support?
delete temporary downloaded files by iCloud Drive, and I need to delete all my iCloud Drive files on the cloud?
Empty the trash on the computer you are syncing with.
Well I know the iPhone Storage page where I can see which app is consuming how much.
Photos uses some.
Watsapp uses some more.
and I don't know why iCloud Drive is using gigabytes and there's no delete button inside.
Is there a way to free up the storage that iCloud Drive is using???
Hi,
I think this option deletes my files on the cloud that I want to keep. ( Less than 50 MB )
Do you mean there is no option to delete temporary downloaded files by iCloud Drive, and I need to delete all my iCloud Drive files on the cloud?
Byes.
Thank you for the recommendations.
I have gone through them all. I have also tried disabling the iCloud Drive and restart the phone. The iCloud Drive consumption is still in the list in iPhone storage page. I cannot delete the app since it is native.
I think we should give up.
See if anything here helps.
You are welcome.
If I am not wrong this page gives instructions on iCloud storage while my problem is on my iPhone storage.
iCloud Drive app consumes 3.7GB on my iPhone. On the other hand I have used 1.5 GB on iCloud storage, I mean on the cloud.
On your device: Settings > Name (top) > iCloud > Manage Storage > iCloud Drive > Delete Documents & Data.
