How do you delete backup files from iCloud backup?

I would like to clean off books, etc. that I no longer want that have gone back up to iCloud for storing. Is there a way to do that from my iPad or phone?

Hello psychdoc2,

If you are seeing a cloud icon next to them, this means they are not taking up space, but available for redownload. If you no longer wanting to see them available for redownload, you can always hide them using this article: Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
