There is only one iCloud backup retained in iCloud for any given device - the latest. Every time your device gets backed up to iCloud, that backup replaces the last one. You can backup as many devices as you have space for, but each uniquely named device has just a single backup file in iCloud.

I have no idea where the concept of three most recent icloud backup files comes from. Apple documentation makes no mention of any such thing, and a simply check of your backup files in iCloud from any iOS device, Mac or Windows computer will show there is only one for each device.

in this case it makes no cense that I erase all content and settings again,and restart the phone,because it will take the last back up I dis,which is not the one I want.It will take the current situation On my phone.There is no archive in backups than in incloud?
