How do I delete the iCloud back up from your previous iPhone that was used to restore my new iPhone?

My phone was replaced yesterday by the apple store. I restored my data from my old phone onto my new phone. Now I am receiving alerts from iCloud that I do not have enough memory to back up my new phone. I noticed that I have the old iPhone , my iPad, and this iPhone. When I try to delete my old profile, the system does not allow it as it is currently in use. As a result, I cannot back up my new iPhone due to not enough memory. Is there a way to delete the old profile? 

Hi Cynatalya!
Here is an article that can help you manage your iCloud storage:
iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
Specifically, this section addresses your exact question:
Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your device
iOS device
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your iOS device in the Backups area.
Tap Delete Backup.
You will be asked to confirm this change. Deleting this backup will also turn off Backup of your iOS device. Choose Delete if you want to turn off Backup and remove all backups for this iOS device from iCloud.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

  • Can I delete backup data from my old iPhone which I used to restore my new iphone 5?

    My iphone 4S was stolen, and I had to get a new phone. I had all my data backed up on icloud and it was easy to set up my new iphone 5 and getting all my data back, however, I still have my old'd phone backup data on my icloud and it's been taking up space (about 4gb) of data. Can I delete this data? Will it delete my iphone5's data as well, as I used it to restore all settings?
    Thanks

    You can safely delete the old back up now.

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

    thank you so much!!!!
    Well, yeah.  You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs.  I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs.

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • How do i delete the icloud account on my iphone without login details

    How do i delete the icloud account on my iphone without login details or access to the email account which it was set up with?

    While you can delete the existing iCloud account by forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it, or logging into iCloud.com & erasing the phone, you won't be able to activate the phone unless you you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate the phone. The phone will be useless.
    This is called Activation Lock.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

  • HT4897 I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?

    I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?
    I'm trying to make iCloud mail my primary email but I'm concerned that I may have lost the perfect email address forever.

    I have the same problem. After our wedding I've created an alias ([email protected]) to my actual AppleID Account ([email protected]). Now I'd the idea to delete the alias and my actual AppleID to create a new AppleID with ([email protected]).
    Is there really no possibilty to do this?
    Thanks in advance for quick and positive feedback.

  • How can I delete time machine back up from my computer hard drive

    How can I delete time machine back up from my computer hard drive?

    How to Delete a Time Machine Backup - YouTube
    If you want to remove an entire Time Machine backup on a backup drive, then the easiest way to do that is to erase the backup drive using Disk Utility. However, this will delete everything on the disk:
    Drive Erase Snow Leopard and Earlier
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the volume you wish to format from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

  • Re:How can we delete the concurrent node entry from the FND_NODE table

    HI ,
    11.5.10.2 on Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit) .
    How can we delete the concurrent node entry from the FND_NODES table without running Autoconfig.
    Currently we are having 3 nodes RAC and we are deciding to remove one node from the RAC and all 3 nodes are registered as concurrent node with application but concurrent manager is running only on one node.
    Lot of the custom configuration we did it at application web tire level. If we run the Autoconfig at that time we need to redo those changes again that we are trying to avoid.
    Regards .

    we are trying to avoid to run FND_CLONE.setup_clean because it will delete all the nodes entries from the FND_NODES.If those entries are invalid then they should be deleted.
    Running AutoConfig after purging the table will populate it with the correct entries.
    In order to populate the nodes entries again we need to run autoconfig and it will change the server id in fnd_nodes and then we need to redo the ADI client configuration on users PC and redo all the changes that we made in jserv and webserver.For ADI Clients, you should use the correct server ids which will be populated in the table for you once you run AutoConfig.
    For jserv configuration, you can refer to (Customizing an AutoConfig Environment [ID 270519.1]) to make the preserve all your custom setup/configuration after running AutoConfig.
    If there any custom script to delete only one node from the fnd_node so that we don't need to run autoconfig after that, then I really appreciate.No.
    Thanks,
    Hussein
