Question

5 points

I would appreciate some help please in response to my silly question (my apology)

I have a big clutter on Itunes (computer) and would like to get rid of it.

I haven't done back up with my iphone for a long time

My music on the iphone is the most recent one and that's what I want to keep.

If I erase my Itunes (computer) music and then connect my Iphone to the computer.

will it work? Will laptop Itunes get all of my iphone music?

Will computer Itunes accept mu iphone music? or will my iphone get whats on the computer

(in this case nothing as it will be erased)

Exactly. Syncing is from computer to device, with the exception of iTunes purchases that can be copied in the other direction. If you're determined to do things the hard way see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community, but it might be better to focus on cleaning up your iTunes library in a slightly less destructive way. For example see Duplicate songs in iTunes - Apple Community.
