Hi Terry, please could you contact our support team? Their email address is [email protected]. They should be able to delete the extra names for you. Just send them full details of who needs to be removed.

The reason you can't delete the names in your is because there would be nowhere to attach the other names attached to it which would then disappear into the ether. As PP says once there are no further dependents then you can delete it. You can also delete also from the top down as well from the bottom up

There is another trick which will sometimes work. Simply change the name of the person that is incorrect to one that is appropriate for the position on your tree.
