Hi @mahersn, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you able to view the backups on the site to delete them from there directly?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Dear Jay

thank you for the reply, yes I am able to see the file on the site and when I choose to delete it, the following pop up window shows, I click I don't have access, then another pop window show, to sign out from all devices from setting, but I don't have any device linked to the account, as per the screenshot of the setting, and not able to delete the file from the site..
