Edit the database that RH10 uses to generate the CPD file

Is it possible to edit the database that RH10 uses to generate the CPD file? I've got one weird entry in the topics list in the Project Manager pod. I've deleted the CPD file and let RH10 rebuild it but the entry is still there.  My team leader would like me to get rid of the entry before we send the project to translation. Thanks.

Dang, I saw that same problem occur with a project I was trying to fix but eventually I had to start over on a fresh copy of the broken project and did not create the problem again.

If you are using an agency that translates and uses RoboHelp, the last thing I would have done is delete the snippet. They would have translated that once instead of everywhere it is used thus keeping costs down. That is an aside though.

Do you have a backup of the project so that you can recreate the Snippet in the hope that the project is good with that in and you can then delete again to check you used the right option?

The CPD is the database and it gets rebuilt by other files in the project. What is the "weird entry" as that is what needs to be tackled. A screenshot might help.

The problem is the List_Numerical entry at the end of the Topics list.  Originally, I created a snippets file containing HTML code to create an ordered list for step-by-step instructions.  After I was done with this project, my team leader asked me to remove the snippet before we sent the topic files for translation. I don't know if anything went wrong when I was deleting the snippet but this entry in Topics keeps coming back.
