To free icloud storage space, can I delete the backup from a phone I no longer own? That back up restored my replacement device.

Over half of my icloud storage is consumed by the back up of my previous 6s phone. I now have a new one and used that old phone's back up to restore items to the new phone. Can I go ahead and remove that old back-up so that my new phone can back-up to the cloud?

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2
