Deleting app data from icloud

I repeatedly delete an app from my phone yet it continues to pick up data stored in the cloud. Have tried multiple times deleting app, turning off backup under iphone backup details and no luck. Could not find the app listed under ‘manage account storage,” which has been suggested in other threads as a place to go and delete both app and all associated data. Help?




iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Seems you may need to turn off the sync of data to that app ?

See the article: Change which apps sync and store data with iCloud - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"On your iPhone,

  1. Go to Settings > your name.
  2. Tap iCloud.
  3. Tap See All next to Saved to iCloud. In iOS 17 or earlier, tap Show All under Apps Using iCloud.

Tap an app to choose whether to sync or use it with your device or not."
