Hey there Carl_in_MI, thanks for reaching out to us here!
Since it sounds like the computer backup is still enabled on your computer, can you please try following the steps outlined towards the bottom of this article. You would indeed need to be looking at your backups tab.
From there, does the option show "manage backup" as mentioned in the steps from the article linked above, or "set up"?

Let me know how it goes and we can take it from there!

So I have to go back to the default selection. Then the window opens to backup everything. I clear the boxes and select 'Skip'.
Nothing shows up in my sync queue. The Syncing icon just spins and spins.....:
