iPhone backup via iTunes

I have a iPhone running current IOS and have been a iTunes user for quite a while.

When I use iTunes to backup my iPhone, even though in settings it is configured to backup to iCloud, it seems to back up to my C Drive on my Windows computer.

How can I ensure the backup is actually making it to iCloud and reduce the disk usage on my C Drive?

Thanks in advance!

That setting only applies to automatic backups. Ones made from a computer will always be to the computer.

Thanks for the answer, seems odd to offer a setting to configure the backup location and not have it work as the target for automatic and manual backups.
