How to find corrupted backups on MacBook (in order to delete them) when there aren't any listed under Manage Backups? I'm running iOS 16.7 on iPhone 12 mini, and Mac OS 13.6 on MacBook Pro 14" (2022), and I restarted both devices.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.6
Thanks! I was able to find and delete the corrupt backup via pathway ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ as it lists. After that the Mac was able to backup the iPhone without getting stuck on the corrupt-backup error.
