Deleting an old iphone backup

If I delete an old backup on my iphone to free up icloud storage, will all that info still be saved with the most recent backup? Or would I loose it?

All info will saved when you make the next  backup (Manual or automatic). All info from the old backup will be erased.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.

  • HT4847 do you know if i delete my old iphone backup on icloud, will it delete everything off my iphone that was put on from the backup?

    I want more space, and i had recently got a new iphone and i backed it up with icloud so i have all my important info... if i delete the old back up from november, will it delete what i had just put on my phone off my phone itself?

    No.  It will only permanently delete the backup from your iCloud account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone.

  • Where did my old Iphone backup go?

    Dear iPhoners,
    I am lost!
    I wanted to restore an old Iphone backup because I lost my most meaningful text messages. When I right clicked on the device it only showed me a backup from today!
    When I looked in preferences-> devices-> It only showed one; the one I made today!
    Also when I looked via users->appl data-> roaming -> mobileSync... it only showed methe same recent back up.. Now how can this be?
    I am very very sad... and I looked through the internetforums, I tried to use backup extractor, which only showed me some 4 messages from april 2010, so I am still hopefull caus this means the data must be somewhere right?
    But how can I restore my old  backup? I am most certain I NEVER deleted it myself. And when I try to google this strange phenomenon it only gives me information about restoring via backups the way it normally works.
    Help!

    The photos will be in an Event.  Peruse in the Event mode to see if you can find the Event.
    You know the file names of the photos you imported so search by file name to see if the photos can be found in iPhoto:
    Can you find them?  If so you can Control (right) - click  on a photo and have it show you the Event. 

  • My old iphone backup date of 1/15/12 on itunes seems out of date.  I just synced it before I am going to initiate my new iphone 5 from the Mac that I just synced with.  Will it pull the recently synced info or the 1/15/12 data?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
    This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

  • I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

    I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

    Yes, absolutely, but before you do, give yourself three or four days to verify that you have everything on the new phone. You also probably will not be able to delete old backup for three days anyway, I have heard that Apple places server in three days lock out after restore from backup initially started.

  • How can I view / access an old iPhone backup on iCloud before deleting it?

    I have an old iphone back up on icloud and need to delete it to free up space BUT can't access it to see what is contained and if I want / need to keep any of it.

    Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
    As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
    Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
    Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
    Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
    You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from  old iPhone iCloud backup.
    Good luck to you.

  • Two questions: getting first iPhone & deleting old iPhone backups?

    Here's the deal.
    My neighbor has 'paid' for his old iPhone 4 through AT&T and is getting a new one. He's going to give me his old one. It will be my first smartphone (and, naturally, my first iPhone). I've backed it up for him using my computer before and there are a bunch of his apps in iTunes which I would like to remove. So my first question is, "how do I get rid of that backup"?
    I've downloaded the iPhone 4 manual with iOS 4.x (which he has running) and I think I know how to go about updating and resetting the phone. After I get it updated to iOS 6.x, I'll be going to the AT&T store and finding a good (cheap!) plan that fits my lifestyle.
    Any help or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Clinton

    On the phone, follow the directions here:

    Then set things up using YOUR Apple ID. Any old backups, delete: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Also delete any & all content, in your library, obtained with his ID.

  • Can't Delete old iPhone Backup off of iCloud backup storage

    After upgrading my iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5S, I restored the 5S using the recent backup of old 4S.  Now I am getting "out of cloud storage space" messages on my new 5S phone.  I went into iCloud backup storage to delete the 4S backup, but, it says it is in use and cannot be deleted at this time. I have attempted to turn off iCloud backup on the old 4S phone, shutting it off, turning off iCloud backup, but, get the same failed message when attempting to delete the old backup.
    What is the trick to removing this without wiping the old 4S, because I want to be sure there is nothing left on the phone, before I completely wipe it...and I can't tolerate the "No more space in cloud storage" message that keeps popping up on the 5S.
    Thank you,
    --k

    That should clear up on it's own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Wait a few days and try deleting the old backup again.  If you want to back up your phone in the meantime, manually back it up to your computer using iTunes (click Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings).

  • Apple deleted old iPhone backup :(

    Hello!
    I'm paying for iCloud and had an old iPhone4S backup at the cloud. Today, I decided to get back for iPhone, only to found that Apple deletes iPhone backups older than 6 months and my backup was near 9 months old.
    I went very angry, because of some unique data I had with this backup.
    Is there any way to restore it? Any chance for Apple support help?
    Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately, I doubt it.  You would have to contact iCloud support to find out for sure.
    I assume that Apple does this because there are some 340 million iCloud accounts and a number of them are abandoned as people sell or stop using old devices, or create new accounts to use.  At some point they have to clear out the old accounts to free up server space.
