Should run Database tools first. A corrupted table index might result in nameless persons.If that doesn't work, go to the Files menu then Database tools and run them in the order listed.

Thank you for these suggestions. I've never thought to run the Database Tools but I did today. One of the tools removed a blank "child" from a family that I had fretted about for a long time today. On the other hand, the Index still showed a person named "[UNKNOWN], [Unknown]-180628128". When I selected it to Edit, it said the last Edit was 30 Dec 1899. I can't delete the record, nor can I change the Sex, although I was able to change the given names and surname.

See if a drag n drop into a new blank database will remove them.
