Is it okay to delete backups from old phones?

I just got a new phone and transferred all my data over from my old phone. I was looking through my iCloud storage and it says that my storage is full, but about 60% of the storage is taken up by backups from my old phone. So is it okay to delete those backups now that I have a new phone and all of my data is transferred over?
