You will need to delete the 1099 and re-enter.  If it is being treated as 1099-MISC royalties, it had to have been entered as a 1099-MISC and not as 1099-G.   Click on the Search magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of your screen.  Type in 1099-G, and then click on "Go to 1099-G".  The program will ask if you received a Form 1099-G.  Answer yes and then enter your 1099-G.  When asked if you received a Form 1099-MISC say yes, and then on the entry screen click on Back.  You will see your 1099-MISC, click on the "Trash Can" icon to delete it.
