Yes, this can be done very easily.
I assume you know how to connect your iPhone to your Mac, and then open Finder 
and select your iPhone from the Sidebar.
Now, with the general tab selected, navigate to the scroll area, interact and 
locate the Manage Backups button.
Here you will find a list of any old backups stored on your Mac..
Interact with the table, select the backup you would like to delete.
Then, either open the shortcut menu and select Delete, or stop interacting with 
the table, and navigate to the Delete Backup button to delete the selected 
backup.  Either way accomplishes the same thing.
Once you have finished deleting old backups, select the OK button to close the 
dialog, and you are done.

HTH.

Hello,
Over the years I have owned several iPhones. I routinely backed up each iPhone 
to my 2017 iMac now running the latest level of Ventura.
Presumably each iPhone has its own unique backup. I no longer own some of these 
iPhones but their backups are presumably still occupying disk space on my iMac. 
As my disk is only a 256 GB SSD it is now running out of free space. 
Can I find and delete iPhone backups for iPhones I no longer own or iPhones I 
no longer use?
Many thanks for any tips.
Best regards … Paul Hopewell
