Would deleting backup from my old iPhone also delete data from my new iPhone? Hi, I have brought a new iPhone and I have transferred all my data to the new phone. The backup of my old phone is taking up over half of my 5GB iCloud storage. I was wondering if deleting the backup of my old phone would delete the data this includes on my new phone such as contacts or messages. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iCloud Backup I have bought a new phone recently, and I had Icloud+ on my old phone, so when I started the new phone and connected it now I have everything. When I checked the Icloud+ storage I found out that in the iCloud backup I have 2 backups, one from each phone with the same exact size. So is it ok to delete the old backup as I now have it included in the new backup from the new phone or will I lose the data from the old phone ? Thank you

Your question is impossible to understand.

We don’t know if you already set up your new iPhone, if you used a backup to set it up, etc. And “I have any storage in my i[C]cloud” makes no sense.

Further, backups do not exist on your old phone. They may well exist, but somewhere else.

Anyway, deleting a backup does not delete any current iPhone data.
