How can I deactivate the unwanted Backup feature?

How can I deactivate the unwanted Backup feature?

Hello,

 

My storage space with the Basic plan is almost gone due to the backup. I've never indicated that I wanted to back up anything on my local system. How may I deactivate the option, which I cannot find anywhere in the account settings? All I need to do is to share the files with my team.
Here is the screenshot:

THIA.

190 MB is more than enough.

 

I just wondered why I ended up having the backup of whatever it was for, even without my knowledge. I just wondered if I goofed up something during the setup, etc... If you don't know the reason, I'd just celebrate the fact that it finally worked!

 

Thanks.

Hi @Akiko Sasaki-Summers, you must accidentally turned said feature on. 

 

But, I'm glad we managed to resolve everything, and I'm going to be one post away if you need anything else.

 

Enjoy the rest of your week ahead! 😎
