People know what i am talking about right?
During the initial setup right after the NFC tap and go.

My two questions are still, Can i do this after setup, and how do i delete that data?

The copies are stored on Google servers. They don't have a way to delete them as of yet.

If you'd like to try to restore again you must factory reset and it will get you back to that phone restore again.

Not sure this really does what youre asking but you can manage devices here: accounts.google.com/security
I didn't see a way there.
Also my new nexus 6 is not putting data there even though i say its ok. I just have all the test roms i did with my LG G3 and lollipop. How can i make sure my phone is uploading the data?
This seems like such a great feature to even share app data between like a tablet and your phone. I hope they expand this really bad.

I wish there was because I have 30 of them now.
I contacted Play support last night to RMA my Nexus 9. The girl said I had too many Google devices on my account, and asked me for a second email address to assign the ownership of the tablet to. I laughed and offered to send a few older Nexus devices back.

That's funny actually because you can't remove your devices. It sucks when you look through your list but hopefully they will let you delete old ones soon.

Its annoying because if you flash a different ROM on a device, that device now shows up twice in the Play Store settings (https://play.google.com/settings)

I have numerous Nexus 4/5/7/6/9 entries. I was once told that after two years of inactivity, the device drops off, but I have an old Acer tablet with a last used date of July 23, 2012 still sitting on my list.
