iPhone back up?

Hi,


We recently upgraded to iPhone 12s. I backed up the old iPhones on my wife's Macbook Air. Where on the hard drive are the back up files found?


Thanks

MacBook Air

I am not looking to restore from a backup. I am looking to find the backup files on the hard drive. Apple is very stingy in their SSD and the Macbook Air is running low on hard drive space. But I have 6-8 iPhones backups somewhere that I can delete if I can find them an thus clear up some hard drive space.
