What is deleted when I delete my iCloud backup?

What will I lose when I delete my iCloud backup?  Pictures? Notes?

You'll lose that backup file but nothing that's on the device.
Just make a new backup after deleting the old one.

  • 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.

  • Can i get back the backup file what i deleted on icloud?

    Can i get back the backup file what i deleted on icloud?please, help me. thanks

    You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • If you delete your icloud backup will it delete everything that was backed up?

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

  • When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

    When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

    Yes I have tried that last weekend ad this weekend. I have tried wi fi at different times of the day too; in case it is speed issue. I have tried selecting only backing up limited content and not every thing per what other users suggest.
    It's maybe either the router is lousy or there is something wrong with my software or hardware.
    Appreciate your thoughts
    Thanks!!

  • When I do an iCloud backup is my email address book backed up?

    When I do an iCloud backup, are my email contacts backed up?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Whilst Apple do not state that it is, there is some evidence to suggest that your contact list is backed up with an iCloud backup.

  • When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why?  I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.

    When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why?  I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.

    1. set up as new
    2. transfer you wife's purchases.
    3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.
    Enjoy.

  • 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
    Natasha

    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

  • Not able to delete an icloud backup

    I first had an iPhone 4. Since two days I have an iPhone 4S. Now i wanted to delete the backup of my iPhone 4. But I got a message, that I nearly reached my limit of 5 GB. So I selecedt the old backup and pressed delete. Then I got a message, that deleting is not possible. I cannot delete any of my iPhone-backups, but the backup of my iPad. I tryed it many times.

    Same here. I had a 3GS backup in iCloud, now I have a 4S. When trying to delete the 3GS backup from iCloud to save some space for my 4S, it says I cannot remove the backup. Tried it from my iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S and my Macbook Pro, all without success. Is this just temporarily? Are more people having trouble?

  • Can't delete old iCloud backup

    Had a phone set up to back up to iCloud. That phone went dead, and was returned to Apple and exchanged with a new one. Because the screen went dead -- thus rendering the phone inoperable -- I was unable to shut off iCloud backups and delete the old backup.
    Right now, I can't delete the old phone's iCloud backup, and I don't have enough space to start backups on the replacement phone. How can I resolve this?

    If you registered your old phone with Apple, try unregistering it by:
    Going to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Loging in if not already logged in.
    Clicking on ">" to the right of the phone listing
    Clicking "unregister"
    This may take a day or two but hopefully will then allow you to remove the backup. 
    If it doesn't, then one option is to create a new iCloud account and migrate your data to the new account.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud, in case you ever want to re-use the account in the future.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
