I have looked over my privacy settings, read the help section and still my location shows up on dvd reviews and my public profile. Does anyone know how to change this,?

Sharon, you need to go to your privacy settings. https://www.swapadvd.com/members/settings/privacy.php

Note that to really keep your location hidden, you should also hide your wishlist and also probably your tower.
If your wishlist is public, to get your address, another member can post an item on your wishlist to you (they don't need to have the item and can just quickly cancel). And if your tower is public, they can request a DVD from you and you will likely mail it with your return address (unless you hand-write your mailing labels without one).
