I recommend you read the user guide. There is a section on removing bad rain values. Once you have edited the archive table the easiest way to recreate the high/low values is to use the wee_database utility to drop daily and rebuild daily. It is all in the user manual. Seriously though you will learn a lot by just reading through the user guide and the customisation guide and even if some things do not make much sense at first there is loads and loads of good information in them.
