Retrieving data from icloud

I was loaned an I phone 7 from apple while mine is being Repaired. I was setting the phone up and it started recovering my data from the iCloud even though I had said to skip this step. It has been trying to recover it for at 15 hours now and hasn’t gotten anywhere. I’m wondering if I can reset the phone and try to start over or if that will destroy everything I have saved on the cloud.

You can reset it, it won't impact your data on iCloud.
