For some reason, TurboTax is including a NYS return when it's not required. Taxpayer is a NJ resident with no NYS income. How can I delete the NYS return?

Click on Tools.

It appears that I have to delete each form in the NY return, one by one (the information page won't delete). Is that right? Is there a way to delete the whole return in one shot? Why was a NY return generated to begin with? I did not file a NY return for 2021. Although, I did download the NY program to file for other taxpayers who were required to file. Thank you.
