can i use a previous icloud back up to restore my phone?

I just got a new iphone 11 pro max. I did an icloud back up on my old phone and then on my new one. All was good. I then deleted all the text messages on my old phone and it automatically deleted it on my new phone. I want to use the previous back up that i did on my new phone to get all my text messages back. is that possible?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

If you had messages in iCloud turned on Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support and those messages were deleted, then they are permanently gone. If that feature wasn't turned on, you can restore from a backup -- Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support.
