Find backups stored on your Mac or PC

To avoid ruining any of your backup files, here's what you should know:

• Finder and iTunes save backups to a Backup folder. The location of the Backup folder varies by operating system. Though you can copy the Backup folder, you should never move it to a different folder, external drive, or network drive.
• Don't edit, relocate, rename, or extract content from your backup files, because these actions might ruin the files. For example, to restore from a relocated backup file, you need to move it back or the file won't work. Backups serve as a safe copy of your entire device. So while you might be able to view or access a backup file's contents, the contents usually aren't stored in a format that you can read.

By coincidence I found several big folders in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. Some of these folders are several gigabytes big and several years old. What are these folders and why are some of them so old? Can I delete the olders ones? Feb 28, 2020  2.1 How to view iTunes backup (iPhone backup) for free Step 1.
