You will still see the local link addresses there. What exactly are you seeing?

@stephenw10 I'm seeing ipv6 IPs in firewall logs and it's hard to tell what devices they are hence why I rather all ipv4 and fully disable the ipv6

You will always have local link addresses and clients sending traffic from them.
You can add an IPv6 block rule without logging if you simply don't want to see that in the logs.

Link local addresses start with fe80 and usually are based on the MAC address. So, look at those addresses. The least significant 64 bits will have the MAC address, but with FFFE inserted in the middle and bit 7 (IIRC) inverted.
Also, you shouldn't be disabling IPv6. You should be trying to move to it. There's another thread right now where someone's home network is behind carrier grade NAT and so they can't reach it from work, where he has only IPv4 available. I have been using IPv6 for over 10 years, 6 of them via a tunnel and 4 native IPv6 from my ISP.
