Hi Cmears32,


If you're referring to an iCloud backup, that would be expected if you purchased a new device. Get temporary iCloud storage when you buy a new iPhone or iPad outlines the details on temporary expanded iCloud storage for the purposes of transferring data to a newly purchased device. It's normal to see messages related to the deletion of that backup as the 21 day limit approaches.


Otherwise, if you followed the process from How to delete your Apple ID account to delete your entire Apple ID account, all data and information will be removed when that process completes. Any device using that Apple ID should be signed out of prior to the completion of the process.


Regards.
