Hi there Paica01,


Thanks for posting. I see you're unable to delete an old iCloud backup. To double-check, are you using these exact steps? iCloud: Remove an iOS device backup from iCloud


Have you tried removing the backup on both a cellular data connection and Wi-Fi? Does one seem to work?


Does it help if you Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and try again?


If neither of the above helps, you might try using the steps in the link I posted above to see if you're able to remove the backup using a Mac, PC, or another iOS device to see if that clears things up.


Kind regards.
