How to Remove Unwanted Devices from iCloud Backup?

Last Updated :

Backups of iOS (iPhone and iPad) devices get a lot of space on iCloud. So you can easily remove unwanted devices from iCloud Backup to free up space in your online storage. If you want to remove the device from iCloud Backup, then go to 'Settings' on your iOS device and tap 'iCloud'. You will see 'Storage & Backup' option, tap on it. Tap 'Manage Storage', You will see a list of all devices and backup space taken by those devices. Tap on the device that you want to remove from iCloud Backup. Tap 'Delete Backup' button and then tap 'Turn Off & Delete' button. This is how you can remove unwanted devices from iCloud Backup. There is no way to restore a deleted backup. But, if you want the backup then you can switch to that original device.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
