can i delete all other devices on icloud backup

Recently, I got a new phone and my old phone still has a backup on my new phone. It is taking up my iCloud storage and causing my phone to not have enough space to back up anymore. Can I delete that iCloud backup without it deleting everything else?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Hello sophieemillerr,


If you delete an iCloud backup, it will not remove any data from your iPhone. You can then create a new backup of your current phone.


Keep in mind that if you delete the backup of your old iPhone, it will no longer backup automatically. You can read more in this article: View and manage iCloud device backups - Apple Support


Take care!
