You are correct in that the 1099-MISC forms for royalties belong on Schedule E, not C. You would have to be in the business of mineral extraction for it to go on Schedule C.
Delete the forms 1099-MISC and Schedule C (plus any worksheets) and enter under the Rent and Royalties section. You will be answering questions like the property address and ownership before arriving at the royalty income section to enter the 1099-MISC.
How do I delete a form?
Where do I enter Royalty Income?
