What data does iCloud save from Fresco?

Or rather, can I offload Adobe Fresco from my iCloud backups? From my understanding, all projects are saved on Adobe Creative Cloud anyway. Also, judging from the 130.7MB Fresco occupies on iCloud, I don't believe that to be the actual projects. But then, what is it exactly?

I guess this is becoming more of an Apple related question, but is the "app data" that Apple claims to be saved simply for that specific app to be downloaded automatically if I were to restore, or setup, a device from a saved backup? And if that is the case, why must the backup of that app saying, "download me," be bigger than the other ones. So I was just wondering if I can safely remove it from my backups to reduce redundant use of storage.

ICloud Backup includes

App data

Apple Watch backups

Device settings

Home screen and app organisation

iMessage, text (SMS) and MMS messages

Photos and videos on you iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Purchase history from Apple services, like your music, films, apps and books

Ringtones

Visual Voicemail password (requires the SIM card that was in use during backup)

 

App data would probably be the key thing here. If you can turn off the backing up on Fresco specifically I'd start there rather than jumping into deleting.

Note: Fresco works with backup turned off so it literally is just creating a back up of information for you.
