Hi Allen,

Just a guess here but do you have iphones with backups set to your computer, 
rather than backup to icloud?

Google should give you plenty of answers/options depending on how you want to 
backup your phones.

A real quick search threw up this (relatively) recent article which may offer a 
quick overview: 
https://www.imore.com/how-move-your-iphone-or-ipad-backups-external-hard-drive
There will probably be several relevant Apple Support articles online.

HTH


Cheers


Neil

    Hi everyone

    I have just run WhatSize ap over my Mac hard drive and it shows 3 very 
large User/Library/Application Support files of 38GB, 54GB and 9GB

    eg Allen/Library/ Application Support/ 9.07GB MobileSync/ Backup

    Carolyn has /Application Support/ 53.7GB MobileSync and
    Andrea has / Application Support/ 38.5GB MobileSync

    So my questions are what is MobileSync and what will happen if I just 
delete this files?

    I should add neither Carolyn or Andrea use the Mac very much. Carolyn also 
has a 8.04GB iMazing file as well

    I appreciate any advice or help please as TechTool is telling me I don’t 
have enough working space on the HD

    Thank you Allen Gladwell
