Managing iCloud for a child through family sharing

My child is using most of our iCloud storage, but I can’t see what she’s storing to manage it better and see what can be deleted or moved. Help!

You have to see the storage directly in her device. You cannot manage it on your device even with Family Sharing. Take a look at this and manage the storage on her device.

I think you might be using Screen Time and you have disabled changes to accounts. If so, that will make her Apple ID and iCloud settings inaccessible.

Take a look at this.

I know. When you look at her device, though, the AppleID is grayed out so it can't be accessed by the child.
