Q: time machine

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my iMac to Yosemite. I have a WD MyBook which I've designated as my backup HD on Time Machine. Whenever I try to install Yosemite, I get a box declaring both my iMac's HD and the WD external HD are acting as Time Machine backups. Can anyone advise how to remove my internal HD from Time Machine? Many thanks-Tom

Those instructions are of no help if you cannot find the Backups folder. Neither the Finder or Spotlight search finds them.
