What am I supposed to press?
If I delete the backups will that not permanently delete them? Or will it make them back on my laptop?

No worries @Rivkah!
You either need access to the PC so you can disable it within Preferences in the Dropbox app, or you need to remove the PC from your list of Linked Devices.
Then that computer is no longer linked to Dropbox so it can't be syncing and the backup feature can't be active.
You can also either try to click "Manage Backups" or the ellipsis button, and follow the steps it gives you there.
