Then I read one of the previous answers to another user, and clicked on the link it gave to the backup file and I saw a backup file I didn't even know existed, with an option to delete it (eating up 14 Gb, I don't need it because I do my own backup, all I need is the syncing between my main PC and my two other devices).

Do you know how to do that? Thanks a lot, really!
