Google photos backup & sync is turned off and google photos is still backing up my photos. Why?

[Android Central Question]

I have uninstalled and reinstalled google photos. i also cleared the cache and nothing prevents google photos from backing up photos except turning off google photos access to my storage. However, then I can't access google photos.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? How are you confirming that the photos are still being backed up -- by going to the photos.google.com website on your computer browser?
