How do I find iPhone apps on my computer?

I have a number of old apps that are no longer supported by the newer iOS. I want to delete them from my computer so that iTunes no longer synchs them to my iPhone or iPad. But they are not easy to find because the file name doesn't always match the app name. iTunes has a "show in Finder" for songs and videos. I need similar capability for apps. How can I find the iPhone app files on my computer?

iPhone 5, iOS 9.0.2

You can let iTunes do the work for you. If you open iTunes, click the View menu > Apps and then right-click on the app and delete it, there should then be a dialog asking if you want to also delete it (or the wording may be move to trash) on the computer. That right-click menu in iTunes also has a "Show in Finder" on a Mac and may have a similar "Show in Windows Explorer" or something similar on a Windows computer.
