iPod touch Is it safe to delete iPod touch backups

The backups are located at the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

Are they safe to remove? I will then backup again and start it over. I have no plans on restoring from one of these backups. Are they OK to remove. They take a lot on my hard drive and I am doing a cleanup of files and came across this. Thanks.

In iTunes if you go into Preferences then click on Devices it should list all the backups you have there. You might see if you can clean up there first.

At worst you can always temporarily move them somewhere and see if anything breaks.

Thanks a lot, Silent Panda. I removed my iPod touch from the list and it removed all the backups from that location. Time to go sync again

EDIT: I forgot how long my first backup took. That was a while . Thanks, anyways!!!!
