I have purchased a new iPhone and backed it up to my MacBook Pro. Music and photos are ok, but I see files that have been deleted many years ago on Movies and I get an error message saying that those file cannot be uploaded because they cannot be found. Of course, they are no longer there, but where do they come from? How can I choose which video file I want to upload and delete those old logs? Thank you,

I have found the solution. The issue was with the old Apple TV library. I opened it with the Apple TV app on my Mac, deleted the list of old files no longer there and added the new file I wanted on the app itself. So, there is where the phone points to. There is still some issue with few songs that are no longer there, but I know that the song folder is the iTunes Media folder, so I will eventually look into it.
I hope this can help anyone else that have the same issue.

You could try going to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Review Downloaded Videos:
If they are listed there, tap on Edit in the top right hand corner and delete them.
I hope this works for you. It probably won't because it is saying that they can't be uploaded, but it's worth a try. In any case, please post again and let everyone know how you got on.
Uhm, no: I don't even have a downloaded videos tab.
The issue is that on the Mac I see a long list of videos, essentially a log since the file have long gone (by long I mean surely before 2017). I cannot modify the list, I cannot choose where videos will be taken from, and I am not sure where the list comes from although if I had to guess, I would say it probably comes from an old iTunes backup file. But there is not any indication of where the log sits, nor a possibility to choose a folder for the upload of videos. I am at a loss!
Old movie files names appearing and impossible to delete
