I only load a skeleton tree (just BDM info) to online trees and I don't
invite people to join my tree apart from those who have given me
permission to manage their DNA. I don't ask to join other sites either.
I don't add photos etc - so my tree is very boring.
That may change when we can sync between Legacy and MyHeritage but maybe
not.
So if I replace it again, no big deal. I do the same on Ancestry.

I agree that Family Tree Builder is far inferior to Legacy. I am
sure feedback to that effect from many like me made them anxious to
acquire Legacy.
The problem with uploading new gedcoms and deleting the old ones is
that any relationships and photos of people in your previous gedcom
will have to be reconnected. If you have a large list of members, you
must manually reenter ALL of those!
Also, so far, MyHeritage is unable to calculate relationships beyond
the first cousins (sometimes second) if you have a large gedcom. Their
support sometimes is willing to enter those relationships for you, but
if you delete the old gedcom, you must again prevail upon them to do
do it all over again. For photos, you will have to reenter them
yourself. But even if your thirs cousins are not so identified,
MyHeritage will not include those specially entered relatives in your
list of people whose birthdays and anniversaries are in the calendar!
Your only option, if you have, say a third cousins, is to choose ALL
relatives! It will keep you busy responding to your members about who
those people are! That is, if you have have reconnected them. Many
will wonder why their photos are not visible. I have not the time nor
energy to reconnect photos to all the people in my tree each time I
upload a new gedcom! That is not why I am doing genealogy!
I have had to prune my members because I am more interested in having
correctly sourced facts and relatives than padding my database with
dubious connections. I am appalled at the totally false matches that
MyHeritage presents (internet trees are NOT sources!)
Was Legacy is such dire straits? They could have raised their prices
and maintained their integrity rather than lose their place as a
premier program. Such a shame!

John,
It sounds as if you've at some time installed Family Tree Builder, the
MyHeritage desktop program that syncs with MyHeritage trees.
If you want to remove it, you need to uninstall the program.
It should be in your Apps list (Settings - Apps in Windows 10) and
called MyHeritage Family Tree Builder
It's nothing to do with Legacy.
Note that it is set by default to start on Starting your computer so
you'll need to go to your computer Task Manager (in windows 10 you can
right click the Taskbar to access) Startup Tab, find it and disable it.
I installed it last week just to take a look and see if it was a
viable way to upload to MyHeritage. I decided it was probably easier
to make a new gedcom of the people I wanted to upload and just upload
a new tree and delete the old one than work out whether I could import
and merge (wanting to add another branch to my online tree for DNA
matching as my cousin has given me permission to manage her DNA on MH).
Apologies if I've given you more information than you need. I don't
know how computer literate you are.
