How do we delete phone backup ?

[Lance_WPCentral]

When ever I do a hard reset, I can find multiple backups and I do not need them. Where do the backups get stored ? OneDrive or somewhere else ?
Is there a way to delete them?

They're in OneDrive somewhere...but if you go to Settings>Backup>Apps+Settings>manage backups, you can delete them there.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million mate. :smile:

Yea, but...

For some reason, when I reset my phone, it ALWAYS finds the first backup it ever made. But it isn't listed in OneDrive as a backup. Weird.

I have backups from my 928 I had years ago and I deleted them but they still show up when setting up the phone.

Did you delete them via your phone settings or via the Web by logging into OneDrive ?

On mine, I've done it both ways way back when it was first offered on via www.windowsphone.com. But it is always offered when resetting the phone.
