Delete Google Backup - Possible?

Hi,

I posted over in this topic at XDA, does anyone here maybe have an idea?

My post:

'Definite bump on this required!

I too want to delete the existing backup that Google holds because it contains apps that I deleted ages ago because I don't want them (it even downloaded the CM background I used when I used an AOSP ROM a while ago). This happened after I flashed a hd ROM last night.

And I can confirm that regardless of selecting backup or not, the auto downloads occur.

Is the backup overwritten if you don't select it initially but then select it after you have configured your phone to how you want it? If so, how do you reset the backup option, can;t find it, do I have to re-run the setup wizard?

I'm currently back on a standard Sense ROM and don't plan on going to a HD one for a while but would like to delete whatever backup Google hold.

Thanks'

Ok, this issue for me is now resolved having just reinstalled a hd rom (Alex-v 1.3 hd v2), basically I let the apps auto update then, once notified of completion, went into 'Settings-Privacy'-which is where I saw that backup wasn't ticked (as I had not selected it in the setup wizard) but that auto resore WAS but it was greyed out. I selected backup which then ungreyed the auto restore option and was able to untick both selections, once you do this you are given a messsage asking if you are sure and if you continue all data will be deleted. All sorted. Just means you have to go through uninstalling the apps you no longer want but it should be a one off from now. Happy days!
