Old phone backup in iCloud? Do I lose data if I delete?

Hello,

I just replaced my iPhone with a new iPhone 12 and my old iPhone back up in iCloud is taking up crazy space at 22.6 MB. Can I delete that and still retain all the pictures and data? I already transferred apps and photos to new phone.

Deleting an old iCloud Backup will not affect any data on a device.

Also see the following from Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

You can delete old iCloud backups for the device you're currently using, or older devices you may not use anymore.
