Sandra, I have used the steps you listed in our 7.5 environment - going through all the forms, deleting entries, & it worked.
To avoid this happening in the first place I found it helps to restart Remedy before extending the CMBD. It also helps to make sure everything was entered absolutely correctly. Not that I've ever entered anything incorrectly; I've just heard about it.
