Many Apps on your iPhone end up storing App Caches, Sign-in info, Message history and certain App related attachments to iCloud. All such App related Data is classified or labeled as “Documents and Data” in your iCloud Account.

Over a period of time, App related Documents and Data can start occupying a good amount of storage space in your iCloud Account, making it necessary to free up storage space in your iCloud Account.

Tip: To be on the safer side, it is recommended that you delete Documents and Data from iCloud only for those apps that you no longer use and for those apps that are not really important for you.
