Our icloud id has 2 phones being backed up to it. If I do "delete account" on one iphone, will it delete the other phone or the contents on either?

Question

When I got my iphone this week, I simply used my daughter's icloud account to back up to.  Fortunately, the only thing I backed up was the music, which we both like to have access to, but I had unselected the contacts and calendar for fear of having duplicate contact info.  Now I read that if I hadn't deselected them, it would have created duplicates.  That being said, I suppose I need to create another icloud id for myself so i can just back up my info without merging the two.  If I understand most of the posts I have read so far, if I do the "delete account" on my new phone, my daughter's info and phone will not be affected and will remain under her original icloud id?  Then I can create my own icloud id and back up to it?  I just don't want to lose her information by deleting that account from my phone.  Should I go through the icloud settings on my phone first and deslect all of the options from backing up to the icloud before I delete the icloud account from my phone?  BTW, my daughter's phone is an iphone 4 and mine is the 4s, if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.
