How to get rid of Old Time Capsule Connection

Hi, I've got a problem with my MacBook Pro 2019 wanting to connect to an old Time Capsule that I no longer have (and have not had since I've had this Mac, was from a previous Mac).

I get the message " "There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxx Time Capsule" The server may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and then try again". This message pops up when I start up my mac AND when I open Microsoft Teams and pops up around 6 times, having to press OK each time.

Any suggestions on how I get rid of this old connection so the prompt no longer pops up?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

On your Mac......

Open System Preferences (the gear icon on the dock)

Open Users and Groups

Click the Login Items tab near the top of the window

See if the Time Capsule drive....named "Data" unless you have changed the name.....appears here

If it does, click on the listing to highlight it

Click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from the list of items that start up automatically when you power up your Mac

Note.....you may need to click the lock at the lower left of the window and enter your admin password to make changes
