How to delete mistaken state tax file

Hi I mistakenly filed taxes under two states by accident. They are filed under the correct state and the state when the company is located however no taxes where paid to that state only the state where I reside. I see an option under the file tab to remove state return however it is not highlighted so I am unable to select it. I appreciate your help.

    If you don't see the option to delete your state (you'll probably see Edit instead), you've already paid your TurboTax fees (including the state fee) or registered your free version while the state was on your return. If you've done either of these things, you can't delete your state return.

      thank you

      Do you know if it is possible to get a refund for mistakenly purchasing a state I didn't need?
