Remember to REBOOT after you’ve deleted! It did delete my backups, thank you! My iPhone 13 had 16.3GB Backups and I don’t want to pay APPLE anymore money as I already paid £1100 (too much!) for this iPhone 13 Pro Max phone when I bought it new, and I did exactly what you said and deleted the backups like you said to do and it works. HOWEVER, you must also tell people in your video to TURN THE PHONE OFF AND ON AGAIN, then check and they will see the backups have been deleted if it was done correctly. I’ve now got back my 16.3GB of iCloud space. Thank you.

How I freed up some space in my iCloud is I saved my photos in Google photos. I still keep some on the phone I want to have handy.

Will deleting an old phone iCloud backup with apps on it that I don’t have on my new phone delete the iCloud data for those apps if I decided I wanted them on my new phone later?

[kiancatto]

I am currently facing an issue where i might end up downgrading from 50GB to 5GB of iCloud storage, 26GB out of 30GB so far is iCloud backup, if I were to go back to the 5GB I would assume my backup would be deleted, will my current backup (if deleted) make me lose any type of data on apps? Or is app data saved into the app?
