Delete iPhone Backup file password in Windows.
Things aren’t so simple with Windows, as right-clicking on a backup in iTunes won’t reveal any options. You therefore need to locate your backups manually.
In Windows Vista and higher, you can find your iOS backups by clicking Start (or hitting the Windows key in Windows 8 to launch the Start Screen), typing %appdata%, and pressing the Enter key. This will open your current user’s AppData folder. Alternatively, you can navigate to C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming but you’ll need to have enabled the “Show Hidden Files and Folders” option in Windows Explorer in order to see the AppData folder.
Once in the AppData/Roaming folder, navigate to Apple Computer > MobileSync > Backup. Here, you’ll see a list of folders, each referencing a unique iPad or iPhone backup (if you’re a multi-platform user, this is the same data that was accessed via the “Show in Finder” command in OS X). As mentioned earlier, you can’t directly read this data without third party tools, but you can right-click on a given backup and select Properties to view its size.
To remove an iPhone backup in Windows, delete it from this folder and then close and reopen the iTunes Preferences window. The backup will no longer be listed in the Devices tab.
