Phantom albums after running CE4->BL migration script

After running the migration script on my CE4 website, I have ended up with two "phantom" albums which show up in a album set but don't exist on the website. They have no thumbnail and get a 404 error when clicked. I suspect that they were hidden garbage in my CE4 database which became visible when copied to BL. Here are the two instances:

Album Set http://rick.samcos.com/galleries/g-2016/d-Dolomites/ has extra, erroneous "Western Dolomites" album

Album Set http://rick.samcos.com/galleries/o-2008 … rn-Oregon/ has extra, erroneous "Steens Mountain" album

Is there a way for me to remove them (e.g., create & then delete a new album "on top of" the bad one with same slug) or does the database need editing by someone?

Re: Phantom albums after running CE4->BL migration script

You can remove albums from the Backlight interface.
Backlight > Publisher > Top a Level Galleries
Click on the Albums link corresponding with your top-level gallery (usually named Galleries)
Click on the album you want to delete
Scroll down and click Delete Album
