Here’s how to delete iCloud backups on your iPhone or iPad
iCloud automatically backs up all of the data on your iPhone or iPad every day, so long as the device is connected to Wi-Fi, turned on, locked, and connected to a power source.
Get an iTunes backup of your iPhone or iPad, and then you have a backup just in case. And don’t forget that if you turn on iCloud back up again, your device will still be backed up when you connect to Wi-Fi, your device is locked, turned on, and connected to a power source.
