How do you delete/remove backup?

Question

How do I remove my backup for my iPhone?
As it will not let me back it up on m computer bécause it is not compatable with the iPhone.
I do not want to remove my photos from the phone or any apps/messaes I have, is there any way this can be done without removing such data?

Answer 1

Your backup is either stored on the computer or iCloud, not on your phone.
This article explains where the backups are stored on the computer:

Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.
