Smart Check - Form 8889-T Line 18 Wkst, Line A1 must be entered

I cannot complete filing because I get an error in Smart Check stating Form 8889-T Line 18 Wkst, Line A1 must be entered.  I do not have an HSA and I tried following a previous post's response on how to fix the error (by removing and re-entering W2) but those directions are not working; the post response states to delete the W2's using the trash can icon.  There is no trash can icon.  Is there another way to get this corrected so I can file?   Thank you...

Unfortunately, different versions of TurboTax have different ways to delete things. When I publish the "HSA Reset", I generally tell people to  delete the W-2 by either using the trash can icon or the Delete button. Are you saying that you don't see either one? What product are you using and on what platform?

 

So, are you doing a Search on w-2 and getting to a table of W-2s? And you don't see any way to delete the W-2?
