iPhone backups

I have two backups on my hard drive for my iPhone XS. Will deleting the old one mean that I can no longer access some files, photos, etc? Basically, what will happen if I delete this older backup? Thank you!

iPhone XS, iOS 14

1. No, unless they're only in it.

2. The content of the backup file is deleted. Nothing else will be affected.
