I figured it out!!!! I needed to delete ALL carryover amounts from prior years, not just 2021 when my 6 year period ended. I zeroed out all prior carry forward amounts and then I could delete the form. Thanks for the search and jump instruction as it got me there to see the carry forward amounts to prior years holding everything up.
