you should read and apply the proper synthax:

try wee_database --help
and apply ....
when you mention weewx.conf then as --config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf
if you have only one database and one respective weewx.conf, you don't need to mention it (but you can, however, then correctly)

(sudo) wee_database --drop-daily
and
(sudo) weew_database --rebuild-daily
should suffice

if you want to mention weewx.conf, then:
(sudo) wee_database --drop-daily --config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf
etc

I was able to delete the entries from the database using the guide provided at https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Cleaning%20up%20old%20'bad'%20data however, when I got to the section for cleaning up the daily summaries I ran into an error with the commands provided

wee_database weewx.conf --drop-daily and wee_database weewx.conf --rebuild-daily gave me this error

        I'm not sure how or why it happened but today around 3:25pm I
        received a strike count of over 4,000 strikes. Is there a way

        can add a correction in the corrections section if
        lightning_strike_count is < 4,000 = none or something?

        thanks for any help on this matter. really odd
