Restoring of a DELETED iCloud backup of an iPad
It seems that only the most recent iPad backup to iCloud is available. Is there a way to get at recent older iCloud backups of my iPad?

On my iPad it only shows the last backup but when restoring I had at 2 backups saved of each device.
But you have to erase the iPad to see what other backups are available. You could backup to your computer before erasing as a precaution.

Pardon my interruption, but this find is very enlightening. I have been told by one of the ASC hosts that iCloud saves the two most recent backups for each device but I have never seen evidence of it until now.
Thank you for sharing this with the community. I am bookmarking this discussion for future reference.
iTunes or the Finder in MacOS only saves the most recent backup unless you archive backups, which is possible to do on a Mac. If you haven’t archived any backups, there will only be one available on the computer and that would be the most recent backup.
You solved my problem too. I was able to find an iCloud backup that I otherwise could not see! And it contained the very files (Procreate art work) that I had lost (well , to be honest, I deleted the app stupidly and that deleted the art...)!
Thanks!
It’s a photo of my iPad when restoring.
Where did you see that list? The only list I've seen is in MacOS (new) Finder's restore backup button and I think it looks different.
I’m glad you found it helpful Demo.
That’s great.
