I've often had the problem of changing parent too. Sometimes the answer is to close your tree and then open it again.

If the person has descendents you must find the latest one and delete them first, proceding all the way back up to the person. I would re-build downwards first by copying indivuduals to the clipboard and and then copying from the clipboard in the correct position
