Hey vacationlauren,


We'd recommend reviewing this article as it provides steps to take to view, manage and delete your iCloud backups: View and manage iCloud device backups - Apple Support


"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)."


Thanks!
