Can I safely delete all data from Google Drive without affecting my new phone?

Asked By CuriousCat92 On

I'm having trouble with a backup from my old Samsung phone, which I no longer have access to. I can't delete the backups individually; the only option I'm seeing is "delete all data" after navigating to Google Drive -> Storage -> Backups. I have two devices backed up: my current phone (the data I want to keep) and my old phone (the data I want to delete). Is there a way to delete just the old backup? If I click "delete all data" now and back up my new phone immediately afterward, will that work to delete just the old backup? I'm really concerned about what clicking "delete all data" might do to my new phone. Will it delete my Google Photos or any other data from my new Samsung?

You might want to try accessing Google Drive through the browser instead of the app; sometimes there are more options available. In theory, deleting the backup shouldn’t affect your current phone since it stores data locally, but it’s important to double-check.
