Accidentally deleted icloud backup.

Oops, I was trying to see what previous backup dates were available on my iphone. I accidentally deleted the icloud backup altogether (showing full storage capacity now). I don't want to restore the phone, but I also didn't mean to delete the previous backup. Is there a way to restore the data on the cloud only?

iPhone 5

The word "accidentally" means nothing in this case. You deleted the backup; it is gone, so you can only move forward. Create a new backup using whichever device has the information you need to be saved.

Restore your iPhone from your most recent backup to iTunes or iCloud that had these pictures.

Also, transfer your photos from your iPhone to your computer regularly in the future.
