Hi, Some apps let you specify what info gets backed up. I know Downcast does this. You can also go to Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup/Manage Storage and find out what, precisely, is getting backed up. If you ever had another device attached to your account, for instance, you might find out here that it's still taking up space. Or you might find out that some huge file is being backed up that you don't want to be. IN that case, you could move it out of iCloud if it's on your computer and you don't need it to be backed up. At one time, for example, a huge video podcast was taking up more space than I had. I deleted it once I was done with it, and I had enough space again.
You can also buy more storage if necessary from the Storage & backup screen.
