Added a state return by accident

I confused 2 returns and checked the box for a state I didn't need when purchasing the one I did (it wasn't explained what this was for). Now it's trying to file for that state. How can I remove it or "uncheck" the box somehow?

According to Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later?, there are 2 options to do this in TurboTax Online:

Delete your state return, but since it sounds like you have already paid for it, this will not apply.

And:

"When you get to the We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes screen, select Change next to your state return. On the Change filing method screen, select I'm not ready to file and Save."

Since you accidentally bought a 2nd state, here is how to request a refund: How do I request a refund for my TurboTax product?
