Go Here: Delete or Copy Backups Stored on Mac or PC - Apple Support
Hi PAL699,
The location of the Backup folder varies by operating system so I advice you to check this complete guide: Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.
Hi PAL699,
sorry didn't understood you meant on PC.
To find backups stored on your PC
Search for the backup folder on Windows 8 or 10
Let me know if this helps you!
Unfortunately, the article has no information on how to delete a Backup on the PC. (it has only for the MAC). As I now backup to iCloud, I would like to delete the old backups on the PC and I don't know how.
This is the location on my PC: C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
But to my great surprise, the folder is empty. in iTunes, "Latest backups" shows a backup to iCloud and also "to this computer".
The iCloud backup has 63GB. I expect to find this also on my PC.
What are the next steps?
Thanks
Changing backup method
