Autorecover unchecked, but backup files still being created?

Hello,
Under Excel options in Office 2007 on XPSP3 I have unchecked Autorecover yet backup files are still being created every time I work on a file.  Can anyone tell me how to stop this?

I think this may not be autorecover.   There is an option to backup files in the saveas dialog
office button
choose Save As
in the dialog, on the right at the bottom are two buttons Save and Cance.  Just to the left of Save is the word Tools with a dropdown arrow to the right of Tools.  Click on the dropdown arrow and select General Options.  In the resulting dialog, the first
choice in the upper right corner is a checkbox to "Always Save a Backup".  Make sure that is unchecked.
Note that I had a heck of a time finding that tools button - I guess I am blind, but I spent 15 minutes until I finally saw it.   Note I am using Windows Vista - I know in xl2003 on XP, the tools button was on the upper right as I recall - so don't let me
lead you astray - but it should be there somewhere.

1. Access the files on your computer via MY COMPUTER
2. Under the C: drive, access the WINDOWS folder
3. Select the SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION folder, followed by the DOWNLOAD folder.

5. If you are unable to delete these files, open the command prompt (CMD) as the administrator, and type "net stop wuauserv" into the CMD prompt window. Press ENTER. This should allow you to delete the files from step 4.
