Deleting Backups from iCloud

I want to back up my phone but my iCloud storage is full with two back ups from a few months ago. If I delete those backups will I lose anything thats currently on my phone (which is also everything in the backups)? Or can I delete the old backups and back my phone up now?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Hello!


If you delete the old backups you will not lose anything that is currently on your iPhone. Obviously it is key that you immediately backup your iPhone to ensure that you ave an up to date back up after you delete the old back ups currently in iCloud.


Just for reference check out the links below for more information iCloud backups and iCloud storage:
