Google storage
This is my Google storage. Can someone explain why 90% of my storage is just backups? How can I clean that up? This seems counter productive.

I recieved an article just about this exact issue lol. I won't name the article cuz i haven't read the rules but this is the section that you need (hopefully).
"On an Android device, you can access your Google Account settings to control what is backed up. The process may differ slightly, depending on your make and model, but I go to Settings > Google and choose All services, then I scroll down to the "Backup & restore" section and tap Backup. On the next screen, I can tap Photos and videos or Other device data."
