The new iPad won’t be arriving for another week, but I’d like to sell (or give away) an older iPad Pro device. It has been backed up onto iCloud.
Could I (1) Reset all Content and Setting, (2) Remove the device from my Apple/iCloud account, and later setup my new iPad device using the backup on iCloud?
I am concerned that removing this device will delete the backup of it.
iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, Cellular
You can do all of the steps in What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support and it will not remove an iCloud Backup and it will not affect any data synced with iCloud (e.g., iCloud Photos, Contacts etc).
After you have set up your new iPad and no longer need the backup of the old iPad, you can delete the backup. See information in Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

Would removing a device delete the backup on iCloud for it?
