You should be able to disable or delete your backups from that page David Russell 

 

If you're using the desktop app, you should be able to do it through the app's preferences, under the Backups tab.

I seem to have another computer which I started Dropbox on. Maybe I need to get on it to find the delete or disable switch. Starting that up now...will get back to you soon.

 

I had a stroke a few years ago and this computer has gotten smarter than me since...that's a lie...about my brilliance...lol

    I got on the other computer and don't see how I disable the backup.

    Is the Dropbox desktop application installed on that machine? Could you try following these steps to delete the backup on your account?
