Cannot Delete Backup

Using the Windows application (Win7), or from my iPhone 3Gs, or my iPhone 4s, I get the following error message

"Cannot Delete Backup

This backup cannot be deleted at this time."

[ Try Again ] [ OK ]

I wish I knew how to get this file deleted.

When I try to enable the iCloud backup on my old phone I get this message.

iCloud backup Failed

There was a problem enabling iCloud backup

[ Cancel ] [ Try Again ]
