How do I remove information for common-law?

I put information in if I was in a common-law relationship but I'm not but despite setting it back to Single it won't let me file as TurboTax still has that information somehow?

"Your marital status cannot be single if you've entered information about your spouse/partner. Ensure that you've entered your marital status correctly, noting that if you..." is the Netfile Error.

So how do I somehow clear that information that I don't have access to?

They only way to change your marital status to single if you have already started your tax return as Married or CommonLaw, is to start a new return. You cannot remove the spousal information you have already entered.
