I'm facing a problem with syncing my laptop and phone, as well as backing up! i need to delete stuff, read my question and if you know the response to it please answer.

Deleting backups does not delete anything from the iPhone.
iTunes > Preferences > Devices > delete all but the most-recent backup.
You can also set iTunes/iPhone to backup to your iCloud account.

The following has some information that may help. Note that in addition to deleting phone backups it also has a discussion about deleting app backups from your computer.

If you are only deleting a backup, then it won't affect the photos on the computer. If you delete photos off the phone and you are syncing with iCloud, then it will delete the photos off the computer.
