   All of the backups are stored at:   
      
   AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\   
      
   Inside that folder are the individual backups. Each of those folders has   
   a name that is the UDID (Universal Device IDentification number) for the   
   device. If you've backed up multiple devices (different models of iPhone   
   or iPads), there will be multiple backup folders there.   
      
   You can figure out the UDID of your current device by connecting it to   
   the computer, viewing the summary page for the device in iTunes, and   
   clicking the "Serial Number" displayed there which reveals the UDID.   
   You'll find a matching backup folder with that name.   
      
   You can safely delete any backup folders you want. But if you think you   
   may ever want to restore from one that you've delete, you should first   
   make a backup of it for safe keeping.
