When you sync your iPhone to your computer, is all data transferred safely to the backup folder, or does some data, for instance contacts or passwords, get left in other folders and parts of computer. I’m thinking about selling my computer but have these concerns.
See Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support and check both possible locations where backup data may get stored. At minimum you should optionally archive and then wipe that data, but to be honest apart from deauthorizing your computer you should also reformat the drive and sell it with a clean install of the operating system and nothing else.
