What happens if I Click "Delete Backup" To Remove My iCloud Backups? So a while ago when I got my iPhone 11 Pro, I signed up a new Apple ID account for using iCloud. Then when my sister got a new iPhone I gave her my Apple ID to use too. It says that my iCloud storage is almost full. I then click on Manage Storage and it shows iCloud backups for my phone and my sisters phone and how many GB or whatever. Can I delete both these iCloud Backups and What happens when I delete them?

Quick Answer: With Apple iCloud, most users ignore backing up their iPhone or iPad to a Windows PC or Mac computer. And that's smart idea since iCloud backup happens on daily basis and best of all, you may even hardly notice it (How To Get Access and Browse iPhone iPad Photos On Mac).
