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.
