Foreign Earned Income error message won't go away

I accidentally clicked on the entry that my W2 income is foreign. I realized this when I got an error message stating that I either need to fill out Form 2555-T or "remove indicators that foreign earned income qualifies for exclusion on Form 2555..." I deleted my W2 and re-entered, indicating that none of my income was foreign, but the error message won't go away. It's prohibiting me from filing. What can I do?
