Probably what you've done is disable the commflag job for your
backend.  That stops the jobs running, but not being queued (you can
have a separate backend that runs the commflag jobs).  As Stephen
mentioned, you'll need to modify all your recording rules and
templates to not submit the job in the first place.

You can delete existing entries in the queue by going through the
front end -> Information Centre -> System Status -> Job Queue, then
using the down arrow to highlight each entry, press enter and you
should be asked if you want to delete the job.
