“Cannot Delete Backup”

Weird glitch on the X.

My 7 plus backed up fine to iCloud early yesterday morning and we picked up our X’s in the afternoon. Last night I tried to delete the 7 plus backup so the X could backup to iCloud but for some reason I am unable to delete it and there is no room for the X backup.

I’ve tried rebooting, force restarting, turning backup off and on, turning iCloud off and on, trying to delete from another device, etc. I also don’t have photos backing up to iCloud (way too many!) so I couldn’t do the “turn photos off and on” fix.

I never had this happen before.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

According to the iCloud System Status page, Apple was experiencing issues, however, it should be fixed.
