Can't delete income entered in error

I can't delete an item of Other Wages Received that I had mistakenly entered. I have now correctly entered the item under "Other reportable income." However, even though I selected the Update button for "Other Income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099" and then selected "No" to "Did you receive any other wages?" under "Less Common Income" and "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C" the number still reflects the total of both entries. As a result, the software is generating an unnecessary Form 8919, which I only noticed when the Smart Check process said that I had neglected to enter a reason code.
