Hey all!

Does anybody know where macOS stores its iOS files in Catalina? I can only find them in the System Information app when I am managing storage to delete them. The reason why I ask is because in Mojave inside of iTunes, you could hover your mouse over the backup and see what iPhone/iPad (including serial number) is the backup associated with.

I just don't want to delete the wrong backup from my multiple devices.

Thanks!
 
In Finder, if I click on "Manage Backups" after selecting my phone device and hover over the name of one of them, I get the pop-up listing all the info for that backup, same as before.

Anyhow ... they're in
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
