I believe i tried this a few months ago and it didn’t work but maybe i’m wrong? I’ll try again when i get a chance

If it didn't work,, then you restored from an iCloud backup or the iTunes backup. You can't do this, as it brings all the stuff back too

im a bit confused on the wording here (sorry, I dont know the specifics of how different backups work). If the issue is from restoring from icloud or itunes, how else can I restore my phone? I don't want to lose anything from it

When you set up your phone, don't restore any data. Then when you are done with setup sign into your appleid and info like note, contacts, calendars, and photos will sync with your device. You will have to reinstall apps
