Turbotax desktop user. How to avoid Turbotax saving my tax documents online?

I am a long-time Turbotax desktop user. Starting from last year, Turbotax requires an online account to use the desktop edition. I read online that Turbotax will not save tax documents online. I just found Turbotax saved some of my documents online. Those documents are forms imported from other sources, including W-2 forms. I don't want to save them online. I have them saved locally. I am not happy that Turbotax didn't specifically tell/warn me about this.


Is there a way to stop Turbotax from saving my documents online when I use its desktop software?

 

Also, on the website, there is no delete option associated with those documents. You can only download them. Is that the precondition to using the Turbotax desktop edition?
