how can i find backups from my iPhone from a month ago?

How can i find backups from my iPhone from a month ago? I want to restore to that earlier time. I restored my phone so I could get rid of the "other" category, since it took up too much space. Then when my phone came back it was too full of system items and apps I didn't use. All my contacts were gone, etc.

In i Cloud on my phone I only see one backup from earlier today.

iPhone 6s Plus

Hello christineeh,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you're wanting to restore your iPhone from an earlier backup. We'd be happy to help point you towards a resolution.


Check out the following support article, which will walk you through how to locate potential backups of your iPhone:


Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Your device settings will display only the most recent iCloud Backup made. However, iCloud will typically retain your two most recent backups. If it's still stored in iCloud, you would see the second backup as a selection when you restore and set up your iPhone:


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


Cheers!
