Is there any way to force the deletion of a backup in icloud? At the moment I cannot backup my ipad because the icloud version is corrupted in some way and will not back up nor delete normally with my ipad.
Having this very same issue. My 3GS backup is still there and it's taking up most of my 5GB limit, I've been trying to delete it for the last two days with no luck. My new 4S needs the space.
If you have lion or windows you can log into iCloud there through settings or the control panel thing and then manage storage on it. I don't think Snow Leopard has this yet if you're a mac user.
It looks like you can delete backups from here, not sure if it'll work for you but it's worth a try.
Same problem here with the iPhone.Still no dice too, the problem seems to be on the iCloud server. It doesn't want to give permission to delete this one back up. My problem isn't space, it's that I cannot backup my iPad, to the old file or to a new
I talked to someone at Apple today and the only thing they could do for me was give me an extra 10GB of storage for the next year.
5.0.1 didn't help.
^^^i was on the phone with tier 2 apple support for 2 HOURS last nite...they never suggested that and i wans't familiar with that...matter of fact: that option isn't even ON my phone....never seen that.
wipe the phone clear, setup as NEW iPhone, DON'T restore from a backup, and manually add all of your info. then sync it for a fresh sync.
I'm no longer using iCloud as it could do it again if it gets stuck halfway. on another side note my 2-day old iP4s just had a SIM card issue this morning, so I'm on another NEW iP4s .
just remember: no iCloud, no problems.
