IOS iCloud Backup - Too Large

After installing foobar2000 on IOS 17, and utilizing the FTP Server feature to upload songs, I was no longer able to perform an iCloud Backup since the application size, which included the uploaded songs, did not fit within the free 5GB tier provided by Apple.

I looked for options to disable all fb2k data entirely from the icloud backups but did not find that option. After some research, into IOS, it appears that certain data can be marked as excluded from an icloud backup if properly marked.

Shouldn't music files uploaded via ftp server be excluded from icloud backups?
