The (~) symbol signifies your home directory, which is at the same place where all your other personal documents are stored.
Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 back up the iPhone files here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 8 and Windows 10 put the iPhone backups in the following directory:
\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’
Note to Windows users: the Application Data and AppData directories and their contents (iPhone backups included) are considered ‘hidden’ so you will need to enable ‘Show hidden files’ within Windows Explorer before you will be able to see the files.
