You can download synced files, contacts, notes and photos from iCloud and delete them from there whenever you want.


You cannot modify a backup once it's been made however, but you can change what is backed up the next time from the iPhone Settings by turning on or off the features and apps to back up in Settings ➜ Account (top of settings) ➜ iCloud ➜ Manage Account Storage ➜ Backups ➜ Device Name.


From there let the list of apps and features load, and you can turn on or off the features and apps you don't want to back up.
