You cannot do anything with a phone with a broken screen. Even restore with a computer needs you to put in the passcode.

The data is safe though.

If you were to delete stuff manually there is a chance that anything on iCloud would be wiped from everywhere. To wipe a phone always use the Settings, General, Reset, Erase all content andsettimgs which will not affect cloud based data,
