Do you have a link to 'PC's' on the left hand side?

If so try clicking that and see if you have multiple machines attached (from prior installs).

The Onedrive support page can sometimes be helpful:
Find lost or missing files in OneDrive

I see no links to PC.

None of the suggestions in the list found anything.

I would also check in the recycle bin.

Also Bottom left, click on the # used of #GB
Then kind of top middle "What's taking up space?"

There isn't. Because they are PHONE backups not PC backups.

Bingo!!! Thank you.

You know, I vaguely recalled that a long time ago I knew that, but I guess my memory it's not what it used to be.

Best,
