If I go to Settings > [username] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups on my iPhone (as an example) I can delete backups of any of my devices.
Also note the following from Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
(it also has instructions for doing it from a Mac or PC; Bold added by me)
Delete backups and turn off iCloud Backup for your device
You can delete old iCloud backups for the device you're currently using, or older devices you may not use anymore.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
When you delete a backup, it also turns off iCloud Backup for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

I was at that link, but it only shows me how to manage storage from the device I’m on. I want to be able to manage storage from 8-10 devices from my master account, and older devices associated with my account. I also wish for new backups to replace older backups. I don’t want backups to keep being cumulative.
