Disable ability to Create Customer Accounts

[EC23]

I do not want the ability for customers to create customer accounts in my store. 

Even though, I have removed the link from my published store, somehow accounts are still being created.  I have navigated to "edit code" and see all the Customer account templates, should I just delete them all to disable the account creation ability?

In the Shopify admin, go to "Settings.
Click on "Checkout" in the settings menu.
Scroll down to the "Customer accounts" section.
Under the "Customer accounts" section, you'll find the "Accounts are" options.
Select the option that says "Disabled."
Last save it.

Im pretty sure I disabled it awhile ago...There is no longer a "Customer Accounts" section in Checkout settings.

Precisely. No longer the section or a clear way to turn them off. I believe it's now under: Settings > Customer Accounts > Accounts in online store and checkout - you're then prompted to de-select "Show login link in the header of online store and at checkout". However the login url still functions
