    All iTunes contents are visible in the iTunes app. iPhone contents are also visible in iTunes when you connect to your computer.

     

    I don't understand your reference to "314mb" occupying "many GB". If your iTunes library is 314 MB (which is tiny), where are you seeing the many GBs?

    You can see how many backups of your iPhone are being stored by iTunes and when they were taken by choosing Devices from the iTunes Preferences. For each backup, it lists the source device (if you have more than one) and the date/time the backup was taken, but you cannot see how large it is nor what it contains. You can also delete unneeded backups (perhaps from an earlier iPhone or an iPad) there.
