How do I delete?

Please.....I am going mad trying to delete a couple of people from my tree. I added the wrong mother and father details to my great grandmother. I want to remove them until I find the correct ones. I can't seem to do it because it says I have children linked. Yes I do, but I don't want to remove her, anyway she has children. I guess I would get the same message, all the way to the bottom. I just want to delete the top of the tree. Please help Pauline

Just change them to unknown for now and overtype when you get the right ones, otherwise you have to delate all descendants .KIM

Thank you for that Kim. I just thought I was doing something wrong. Seems silly to me that you can add a parent, but you then cannot delete them. I could understand not being able to remove someone in the middle of the tree. I will not make the same mistake again. Pauline

I know it's annoying, but it'll give you an added incentive to find the right parents!! KIM
