Removing a SQL server backup

In SQL Enterprise Manager, an employee right-clicked the 'Database' object
and created a scheduled backup. Then they expanded the 'Database' object,
found the target database 'XYZdatabase', right-clicked that too and
scheduled a second backup to a different drive.
How do I delete the backup job(s) because I have two running right now?
If I remove the file location where it backs up to, it tells me I must
select a file name / location. There is no way to remove the databse in the
SQL Server backup window, only an option from the dropdown to select
different databases.
Thanks in advance.r042wal schrieb:

look at the SQL Agent Jobs. There you find the scheduled jobs and can
delete one.
