ICloud Storage

I am running out of storage on ICloud. I have seen I have over 4Gh of backup on ICloud. I have no idea what that is, how to access it or remove it. Can you help?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

That's your iPhone backup file. To delete it go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups and then select the backup you want to delete and click 'Delete backup'. If you no longer want to automatically backup your phone via iCloud (even though highly recommended), go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud and turn off iCloud Backup.
