Hi Andrew,

you need to remove the data with SQL in the database. Run:

delete from datavalue_audit where dataelementid=<id>;
delete from datavalue where dataelementid=<id>;

and replace <id> with the dataelementid of the one you want to remove.

You can then go ahead and delete the data element in the user interface.
