To delete a WhatsApp backup from Google Drive, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser and go to the Google Drive website.
2. Sign in to your Google account that you use for WhatsApp backup.
3. Click on the "Gear" icon in the top-right corner of the screen and select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
4. Click on "Manage Apps" in the left-hand menu.
5. Scroll down the list of apps until you find "WhatsApp Messenger."
6. Click on the "Options" button next to "WhatsApp Messenger" and select "Delete hidden app data."
7. Confirm that you want to delete the hidden app data by clicking on "Delete" in the pop-up window.

Note that deleting the WhatsApp backup from Google Drive will permanently delete the backup and you will not be able to restore it later. Before deleting the backup, make sure that you have a backup of your messages on your device or on another cloud storage service.

Additionally, deleting the WhatsApp backup from Google Drive will not delete the backup from your device. To delete the backup from your device, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open WhatsApp on your device.
2. Tap on the "Three-dot" menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Tap on "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
4. Tap on "Chats" in the Settings menu.
5. Tap on "Chat Backup" in the Chats menu.
6. Tap on the "Back Up Now" button to create a new backup.
7. After the backup is complete, tap on the "Google Drive" option and select "Never" from the drop-down menu.
8. Tap on "Back Up" to confirm that you want to delete the previous backup.

This will delete the WhatsApp backup from Google Drive and prevent future backups from being uploaded to Google Drive. However, it will not delete the backup from your device. To delete the backup from your device, you need to manually delete the backup files from your device's storage.
