How do I delete a 1099misc. Entered by mistake. Keeps asking me for the payer's EIN. I can't seem to delete it.

I entered a 1099misc by mistake with no payer EIN. When I try to review it shows 1 error and keeps asking me for the EIN. I've gone back through everything and don't see a way to delete the whole 1099 misc.

Another way to delete it is by deleting the form:

Go to Tax Tools to the left

Click on Tools

Scroll down and find 1099-MISC and click delete next to it

I am using home/business and don't see tax tools in the menu bar at the top or below the tax file name.  All I see there is Easy Step (Details and Estimate are grayed out).  Then Open Form, Errors, Tax Data, Tax Summary and then on the right Upgrade (which is grayed out) and Help Center.  HELP!  I can’t e-file because I can’t delete this stupid form!
