Step 1. Launch the "Settings" app on your iPhone or iPad, and then tap the area featuring your profile picture and account name at the top of the menu. The Apple Account screen is shown.
Step 2. Tap "iCloud" in the list of options. You'll land on the iCloud screen.
Step 3. Tap iCloud Backup in this menu. The Backup screen opens, where you'll see a list of all of your iCloud device backups at the bottom of this screen in the All Device Backups section.
Step 4. Find the backup of your old iPhone or iPad you want to delete from iCloud, and then tap that specific backup. The screen will change to display information for that specific iPhone or iPad backup.
Step 5. Tap "Turn Off and Delete from iCloud." A window pops up asking if you want to permanently delete this backup, and letting you know that apps and data from this device will stop being backed up to iCloud.
Step 6. Tap "Turn Off and Delete." Another message is displayed letting you know that you can't undo this action.
Step 7. Tap "Permanently Delete." A Deleting icon appears briefly on the screen. After a moment, that icon will disappear, and you'll be returned to the Backup screen, where the backup associated with your old iPhone or iPad will no longer be displayed in the All Device Backups section.
