My iCloud storage is full because of old backups. I want to delete old backups on iCloud but I’m not sure which ones are safe to remove. Can someone guide me on how to delete old backups on iCloud without losing important data?

Want to delete your old iCloud backups? First, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, hit your name at the top, then follow the path iCloud Manage Storage Backups. Find the device backup that you don't need anymore, hit Delete Backup, and then confirm your action. Doing this will delete the saved data and keep your iCloud space free. Sign in to iCloud on your Mac or PC, open storage settings, click Backups, and delete the ones that are old. Uninstalling backups that are not in use regularly will keep your storage groomed and won't make you pay for more space from Apple.
