I'm still not sure what exactly "4 M" is?

Can you confirm you have created a person called "4 M"?
If not what on earth are you referring to?

Check any residual links by clicking on the name, and selecting the "Family" tab.
Any children, parents or spouses will show on the screen.

I was thinking the same thing too... 4 M ?

Try closing down and restarting the program, check to see if the person has gone, if not try deleting again.

I have never had this problem with Roots Magic, and I have been using it since 2003 ( now using the latest version)

As a last resort, go back to previously saved dataset, assuming you do a backup after closing very time you are working on your tree. Hopefully not too much work to reenter

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.

You could try 'Database Tools' in the 'File' menu, which gives you an option to 'Clean Phantom Records'
