Is it possible that you've opened an "old" wallet and not the new one you thought you were creating?

What happens if you go "File -> Open"... do you see multiple wallet files listed? (NOTE: by default this will NOT have a .dat or .wallet extension, they'll just be called "default_wallet" or "wallet_1" etc)

Help! I created an Electrum wallet. I thought I created a standard wallet and definitely didn't plug in my Ledger.

I may have had my Trezor plugged in at the time

I don't remember any specific items checked during setup - My goal was just to create a quick, unsecured Light wallet to move a mBTC around.

However, now, when I am trying to move the balance I sent in back out, it is asking me to confirm the transaction via Ledger. This makes no sense, as I never even connected my Ledger for months. I tried connecting it, and I get an error when I try to send. Do you know of any fixes for this issue?

Is there some way I can export my private key or seed and restart without the wallet being "attached" to this "Ghost" Ledger?

It seems either the wallet confused my Trezor with Ledger (and the Trezor doesn't seem to be "picking up" - wallet thinks it's a Ledger wallet") or I don't know what...
