Help deleting mobile sync backups

[caseykid23]

I have a macbook pro and I have like 50 gigs of backups in mobile sync. Most of this pointless and I can't figure out a way to delete it. I have time machine but don't leave it plugged in all the time.

Someone please help me find out how to delete mobile backups and this nonsense that is clogging up my computer so I can continue to use and know how to get rid of it in the future because it seems to keep growing.

Disk inventory says, users, my name, mobile sync, backups, then a bunch of letters and numbers. I need to delete so I can move on with my life. It is somehow hidden on my computer and I need to find it and delete it so i can get 50 gigs of space back.

I can set my phone to iCloud back up and I have time capsule so this is frustrating me because I now have no space. Someone please help!!!!
