How do i delete the backup on my iphone4!!!!?????

There is no backup on your iPhone.
If your iPhone's backup is on your computer - updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, go to iTunes > Preferences and under the Devices tab, select the backup you want to delete and select Delete Backup.

  • HT1766 Error message: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone.  Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup?

    Error message when attempting to backup up iPhone4S to Mac says "iTunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone.  Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup? Can't find answer to that anywhere.

    We had this problem after upgrading to iOS 8.       The iPhone 5 would not backup either to the cloud or to the computer.   Backup always ended with an error message.
    Long story short, with the help of iFunBox ( which I used to make manual backups of some important iPhone data files ), I discovered two games that
    would crash iFunBox.      They were not important games for us, so I didn't try to isolate the offending data files.     And I deleted the two games from the iPhone.
    Apparently these two games conflicted with iOS 8 just as they did with iFunBox.      The next backup without those games was then successful.
    I backed up to both the Mac and the cloud.
    Hope this helps.

    In iTunes click on edit then preferences then on the devices tab and the backups are there.  Select the one you want to delete then delete it

  • How can I delete the backups of my imac, that are stored on my macbook air.

    I wanted to transfer a folder (of 5 gigas) from my iMac to my macbook air (both running Lion OS) using a thunderbolt cable, so I started my macbook air on target disk mode (by starting it up while holding the key T) and on my iMac I went to the time machine utility, switched it on and selected the disk from the macbook air, I selected the folder, copied it to my macbook air's dekstop, the whole process took me less than 2 minutes. I disconnected the cable, turned the macbook air on and the folder was in the desktop as I wanted, however, it was created automatically a backup of my iMac on my macbook air. So now I am kind of lacking space and I want to delete the backup, but unfortunately, I can't find the backup on my macbook.

    .....and the name of the folder?
    press Command-F in the Finder to bring up a Finder search, and then click the plus button to the right of the search window to add a new filter. Then select "other" in the first drop-down menu to assign  new filters, followed by adjusting them
    Once completed, you can then search for a keyword, such as a file name.

    Please let me know how to delete the files on backups folder.
    Thank you,

    Have you emptied your trash?
    Finder Menu > Empty trash…
    That will remove the items that were on the internal disk & were in the Trash.
    What is the backup you are talking about? Is this a Time Machine backup?

  • HT201210 how do you delete the old back system

    how do you delete old back up system to update new software

    Edit > Preferences > Devices, select backup sets to delete. Are you sure that is what you want to do though? You need to have a valid backup of the current state of your device before upgrading in case something goes wrong.

  • HT201210 how do you delete the lokout code

    how do you delete or reset the lokout code on ipad??????   cant remember my code

    If you could delete it or reset it - what good what it be????
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    This will tell you how to restore
    iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
    If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
    iPad: Unable to update or restore

  • How do i delete a backup?  I deleted a large iPhoto library, but it didn't create any space as there is now a backup that is the same size.

    I deleted a large iPhoto library from my hard drive to make space for an updated version.  When I emptied the trash and checked on memory, there was an equivalent sized backup, so I still can't download the new library.  How do i delete the backup from my hard drive?

    You could be seeing the local Time Machine backup files.

  • HT3275 How can I delete a backup of one of my computers from a shared time capsule?

    Hello,
    I have a Time Capsule which is used for backup with Time Capsule by two Macs.
    One of the Macs is currently offline and I want to delete it's backup manually from the Time Capsule.
    This operation takes very long and my impression is, it can not be completed.
    How can I delete the backup which is obsolete to free disk space on the Time Capsule?
    Kind Regards
    Ralph

    The fastest, simplest, and most reliable solution would be to erase the Time Capsule disk. That will only take a few minutes, but you will erase the backups of both Macs when you do this. If you don't mind starting over again on the "other" Mac, that would be the way to go.
    Few of us ever need the backups, especially backups from months and maybe years back, but I understand that it is not easy to think about erasing them and starting over with new backups.
    Deleting an individual backup will take a long time ....that is the way that it is.
    Things will go 4-5 times faster on average, and there will be much less of a chance of an error occurring if you connect the Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the process.
    Once the sparsebundle file has been deleted, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    I've done this a number of times with no problems. Basically, I setup the file to delete overnight and check the progress in the morning. In every case, the file has been completely deleted when I check.
