Can't clear backup, where can I locate it?

My profile has 2GB of backups that don't appear anywhere on my profile other than usage. How can I clear them?

    Hi prestonfu, thanks for posting here today! 

     

    Let's start with your Backup page online. 

     

    Would you mind checking for any active Backups there, and then remove them from there?

     

    Let me know how it goes!
