How to delete an iPhone backup in iTunes?
Go into the Preferences, under Devices where you should see them & select which one(s) you want to delete
If you use iTunes instead of iCloud to backup your iPhone or iPad, the backup file will be stored somewhere on your computer. We're going to see how to delete this file directly from iTunes.
1) Launch iTunes.
2) In the Menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences (if you're on a Windows PC, go to Edit > Preferences).
3) In the Preferences, navigate to the Devices tab.
4) You will now see a list of all the backup files that have been made on your computer, from all devices synced with your iTunes account. As you can see here, I have both iPhone and iPad backups, some of them dating all the way back to 2012 for devices I don't even use anymore. We definitely want to clean up these backups. To do so, select the backup you want to delete. You can select multiple backups at a time by holding the Command key on your keyboard while selecting different files with the mouse.
5) Click on the Delete Backup button. You will see this popup asking you to confirm to delete the backup. Click Delete to confirm.
