Convert a mobile account into a local account

Question

Hello everyone!
I originally had to convert local accounts to mobile accounts, but the mobile accounts are not working for us. Seems to be unstable at times and just not what we're looking for. Now I want to change these mobile accounts back to local accounts. Oooor if there is a way to disable sync services, that would be fine.
I took the user out of the group that had our mobile account preferences, but the user is still backing up to the server.
Thanks

The way we do it is basically the same in either direction with the basic goal of retaining the user's data and settings:
1) delete the user from the local machine, but leaving the home folder as is (the home folder will be changed to +user (deleted)+ )
2) recreate the user account either as a new local account (from system prefs), or a new mobile account (by logging in and creating the account, then logout) as required.
3) as an admin, delete the default home folder that was created when the account was created. I usually do this from the command line : sudo rm -rf /Users/user
4) again from the command line, change the name of the home folder : sudo mv /Users/+user (deleted)+ /Users/user
5) finally change the permissions on the home folder: sudo chown -R /Users/+user user+
Test, it should be good from there.
