How to make an iphone backup on a computer inaccessible

Hello, a backup of my iphone is left on a computer of my ex. I don't want it to be accessible. I believe it was an encrypted back-up, but most likely I used the same password as in many other instances and my ex knows it. Is there anyway for me to make this backup no longer accessible? Would for example creating another new encrypted backup on another computer with a new password make the older backup inaccessible? Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

The answer is no without access to the computer where the backup resides. If you ex has access to this computer and the PW he can get to the backup. If you have access to THE computer you can delete that backup and then create a new one encrypted with a different PW but this cannot be done remotely.
