'iOS files' in storage

it says my storage on my MacBook Air is full. When I click on this, I see a 128GB file under the ‘iOS files’ section. What could this be and can I possibly delete it?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.4

iOS (iPhone, iPad) device backups, probably. You can delete them if you so choose.


Post the fully qualified pathname to be sure. To determine it, two-finger tap the filename, choose "Copy <...> as Pathname" and post it here if you wish. Please redact your user name; the beginning part e.g /Users/john/ which we don't need to know.
