Is it possible to delete your iCloud backup while you're restoring from it?

I was restoring my phone from an iCloud backup when all of a sudden my phone kept yelling at me that my iCloud storage was full. I mindlessly deleted the OLD backup from which I was restoring from to make room for the new one. I'm not sure if my phone was completely finished with restoring and wanted to know if it was possible to delete an iCloud backup while restoring.
Thanks!
Edit: sorry for saying "restoring" so many times in three sentences !

Okay thank you so much! Before my restore, I only had ~0.3gb free on my phone and now I have 3gb so I thought it was because the restore didn't complete. I guess it was because not everything was backed to iCloud!

    It will only delete the backup from iCloud.  It won't delete anything from your phone.

  • Is it possible to delete my icloud account?

    Is it possible to delete my icloud account?

    If you mean from the iCloud server, no: just stop using it. You can remove it from your devices by going to System Preferences or Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Sign out' (on a Mac) or 'Delete account' (on an iOS device).

  • I deleted my icloud backup by accident

    I deleted my icloud backup from my iphone by accident, but I can still see that it shows up on iCloud.com. Anyone know how to get this to show up on my phone again? I lost all my photos when I reset it.

    You are not seeing your backup on icloud.com.  What you are seeing is data synced from your phone to iCloud.  (Syncing data with iCloud is different from backing up to iCloud.)  To recover synced data like contacts and calendars, you simply go to Settings>iCloud, confirm that you are sign into your iCloud account, then turn Contacts, Calendars, etc. to On.  If prompted, choose merge.

  • What will happen if I delete an iCloud backup?

    Okay. So I have an iPhone 5 which I've been backing up with iCloud.. I have a total of 5GB but only 638MB available. This isn't enough room to back up my phone. I don't really want to buy more space so I tried to create some by deleting apps etc but it didn't make a difference. Do I need to delete pictures? I don't have any music.. When I tap Manage Storage, there are two options saying both named Tasha's iPhone, one takes up 1GB and the other takes up 3.3GB. Could one of these be from my old iPhone4 ? Also what happens if I delete these? Will all my apps and pictures be wiped from my phone? Or can I just delete them both then back up my phone again?
    I'd really appreciate the help!
    Thanks

    One of those backups are from your old iPhone, and you will note this because on your device's backup you will see "My iPhone" or similar under its backup name. You can delete the old one without any problem, as you are not using it to store files.
    If you delete your device backup, you will lose your backups. If you do this, I recommend you to turn off iCloud backup in Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup, and back up your phone every time you plug it to your PC or Mac with iTunes

  • What happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

    what happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

    Nothing.  Deleting the backup only deletes the backup.  It doesn't delete anything else from iCloud or from your devices/computers.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • Is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password

    is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password.
    I can get into my icloud but i cant remember the icloud backup password.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • HT4859 How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • What is deleted when I delete my iCloud backup?

    Just make a new backup after deleting the old one.

  • I have accidently deleted my icloud acount, how can I restore it?

    I have accidently deleted my icloud acount, how can I restore it?

    Just log back into iCloud and if you have at any point backed up it will download and restore.
    If you backed up to iTunes on your computer then connect them and go through iTunes to restore.
    If you have no backups, it's probably all gone.

    Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
    so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

  • HT201269 There is reference to Icloud backup with regard to restoring to new iphone - but I don't see step by step instructions on how to restore my icloud stored stuff to my new phone.

    Where are the step by step instructions for restoring my stuff from icloud to a new iphone?

    See https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.
    If you haven't set up your phone yet, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  If it's already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again to access the option to restore your iCloud backup.
