Delete iCloud Backups on Mac and Windows PC
In general, only the latest backup of your iPhone gets stored on iCloud and the older backup get automatically updated and replaced by the new backup. However, as you switch phones and buy more devices, multiple iOS devices get linked to the same Apple ID and each of these devices will have a backup file stored on iCloud.
