iTunes backup is empty

I recently had to change my PC but kept the old drive. I was searching for previous iPhone backups I had made and, sure enough, I found the folder, but it's empty. Any suggestions? Did I lose those backups? Thanks in advance.

iTunes backup folder is empty Hi, I backed up my old, now broken, iPhone SE (1st generation) using iTunes on my PC windows 10, and now I went to see what's in the backup folder that was created last time I backed up, but the folder is empty. I've looked at C:\Users\<User>\Apple\MobileSync\Backup and there I get to the folder backup, and it says it's empty, I even have so I can see all hidden files but with no success. I also tried to search for it in C:\Users\<User>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup but there nothing was found. I just want to find out what the size of my old backup is so I know if it will fit into my new Iphone SE (2nd generation), since on iTunes it just specifices the date and time when the backup was made. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

Where are my files??? tks in advance Ed
