Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. These support articles have some guidelines:


About identifying legitimate emails from the App Store and iTunes Store --> Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Avoid scams when you use Apple Cash --> Avoid Apple Cash scams - Apple Support


Apple 'How to identify, avoid, and report phishing' video--> https://youtu.be/SR3Z3fXXjfw


About Gift Card Scams --> About Gift Card Scams - Official Apple Support


If you are uncertain about a message and a resource provided in that message, do not click on any links in the message. Try to independently verify the resource by going to a support article page on apple.com and use the instructions in the article to verify though Apple itself, or your Apple device features such as Settings or an Apple app, what the message is claiming. To ask Apple start at this web page: Official Apple Support



If it is saying they will be "deleted" then very likely it is spam. If you have a full iCloud storage then if I recall correctly it will just say your items won't store or update until you either delete some or subscribe to more storage.
