Request to Delete Incompatible iCloud Backup After iOS Beta Downgrade Hello, I recently downgraded my iPhone 13 Pro from iOS 18.6 / 26.0 beta to a stable iOS version. Now I’m trying to create a new iCloud backup, but I keep getting a message that says there is a backup from a newer version of iOS, and I cannot proceed. I’ve tried deleting the old iCloud backup from my iPhone, from iCloud.com, and from the iCloud app on Windows/Mac, but none of these methods work — I receive an error saying the backup cannot be deleted. I would like to ask you to manually remove this incompatible iCloud backup from my account so I can create a new backup on my current iOS version. Thank you very much for your help!
