Can't delete keywords

Hi, all -

I imported some photos containing keywords I want to delete. When I try, the confirm deletion dialogue comes, I press Delete, and nothing happens.

Created some test keywords myself and was able to delete those, so something is locked somehow with the keywords attached to these photos.

Tried Google and found nothing useful...

Anyone else experience and solve this issue?

Thanks,

AD

    They were attached to the pics upon import, I didn't create them.
