Unable to delete out-of-date shape items (URGENT Cannot Create Artworks without fixing this)

After updating shapes, I get a number of "Out of date shapes"

Clock the color button next to them gives me a list with coordinates, if I click on coordinates view is moved but there is no shape or boundary there.

I used: Shape->Check

Click on shape => Shape checking completed.... 2 problem pts found
the outline of the problem pts is visible on the screen
I can select them while in the check mode

** I cannot access them in anyway outside of check mode to delete (or merge) them

I have run Database Check with all options ticked, it states no problems

URGENT: The whole design is now stalled until this can be fixed.

    Ok the clue is in the error. on the report it will specify what layer it's on, turn on ONLY the bound color for that layer and make is nice a bright (yellow) then look at that Boundary outline, This shape will not pour. It's either because you have a direct copy of the shape (on top of each other on the same layer) or it's too small to pour. Either delete it or move it away and see if that helps. Also look at the Shape Parameters for Suppress shapes less than size. Once you have corrected all shapes you should be good to go.
