Is it safe to delete "~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups"? Good morning-

Is it possible to delete the contents of ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups?  This seems to be where backups were stored in older versions of iTunes/iOS?  It appears like it is every backup of iPods, iPhones, etc. I've owned since 2003.  

It seems like backups of an iPhone/iPad done locally are now stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync and that it would be safe to delete the contents of the other folder (~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups) but would appreciate any confirmation that this is accurate :)  

Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes, you are correct. The new location for iOS backups is: 

~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
