If I look at my storage for Messages on the iCloud website it still says 
2.6GB. :(

Just now I looked at Settings > General > Storage > Messages on my 
MacBook and when I clicked the "i" info button it brought up a list of 
messages and I looked at some of the bigger ones and they're the same 
videos I deleted yesterday! It's like what I did on my iPhone for an 
hour yesterday didn't do anything! Help!
