Hello KristenArchie,


We would like to see how we can help you with your iCloud backups. Follow the steps in this link to delete an iCloud backup: View and manage iCloud device backups


"View and manage iCloud backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Tap iCloud Backup.
    • iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups.
  1. You see the devices with iCloud Backup turned on.
  2. To delete a backup, tap the name of a device, then tap Delete & Turn Off Backup (or Delete Backup)."


Cheers!
