Device backups

I have 2 device backups on my new phone and I don’t have access to the other phone as it got stolen. How do I know which backup to delete because I don’t know what the old backup has?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hello LukeIphoneX, 

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. 


You may see a date next to the backup where it is listed on your computer or in iCloud. Go here for more detailed instructions on locating your device backups: Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Please be sure to confirm that all of your data has been restored before deleting any of the backup files. 


All the best!
