Backup

Hello, need your help, I had a 128gb iPhone XR which I trade for a 64 gb iPhone 11, before this I made a backup in my Mac but it’s a little too big for my new iPhone, is there a way to erase some data from the backup so it can be restored into my new iPhone?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Backing up to smaller gig iphone I recently switched from an iPhone 7 (128 gig) to an iPhone 11 (64 gig). I had backed up my iPhone 7 with 110 gigs. Is there a way to delete some stuff on the backup so that I can back up my iPhone 11? I do not have my iphone 7 anymore, I already traded it in.
