Unable to delete whatsapp backup from icloud

I previously had an iphone but have since switched back to android. I still own an ipad and macbook but I'm unable to delete the whatsapp backup from icloud. I have tried on both devices and it processes as if completing but it doesn't actually delete and is being counted in my storage capacity. There is no error. Any ideas?

To delete a WhatsApp backup on an iPhone, navigate to your phone's settings, then your Apple ID, iCloud, and manage storage. From there, select WhatsApp Messenger and choose to delete the data. This will remove the WhatsApp backup from iCloud. 

Steps to Delete WhatsApp Backup on iPhone:

1. Open Settings: Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Access Apple ID: Tap on your name (Apple ID) at the top of the settings screen.
3. Go to iCloud: Select iCloud.
4. Manage Storage: Tap on "Manage Storage" or "Storage".
5. Select WhatsApp: Find and tap on "WhatsApp Messenger".
6. Delete Data: Tap on "Delete Data" and then confirm the action. 

This process will remove the WhatsApp backup data from your iCloud storage. 

Alternative Method:

You can also delete WhatsApp backups directly within the WhatsApp app, by going to Settings > Storage and Data > Manage Storage, according to the Google Help page. However, this method may only delete individual chat backups, not the overall WhatsApp iCloud backup.
