Undo changes
I've got to delete the wrong people and I can not figure out how to recreate them again. I have fully followed the instructions without success. Can you recreate them for me?

Is it that the people existed but don't belong where they are in the tree? In that case the fix is to detach them. See this Help Center article:
Be sure to also detach any historical records attached to the wrong people. Then, if you need to make new person IDs, there are buttons for that on the Details page, under Family Members.
Could you share the person IDs so we can understand better what help you need?

Hans Andersen
20 May 1835 – 1880
• K86C-4WZ
Wrong person. But I can not figure out how to delete that person. Have tried everything without success and am afraid of doing something wrong.

Thanks. How is this Hans Andersen the wrong person? There is a duplicate Hans Andersen G7YZ-NJ8; perhaps what you want to do is merge them?

The real Hans Andersen was born 31 August 1843 in Vejlø, Præstø county. See attachment.
But I do not know how to put him in when I can not delete the wrong ones.

Hi, Do not try to delete this person. You can't
As dontiknowyou has asked, What makes Hans Andersen the wrong person? The wrong person for what?
Do you think he was not the husband of Anne Margrete Rasmusen? You have deleted this relationship, reason: "Incorrect Person" (Who? Him? Her?), but have left several sources attached, to both of them, that prove this is relationship was correct.
Do you think he was not the husband of Ane Duch? You have deleted this relationship, reason: "Incorrect" (Who? What?), but have left around 20 sources attached, to both of them, that prove this is relationship was correct.
As the sources attached show that Ane Duch died in 1876 and he married Anne Margrete Rasmusen in 1877 one marriage does not rule out the other. The dates are even suggestive that it is the same Hans Andersen that married both of them.
Do you think he was not the son of Jens Andersen and Kirstine Pedersdatter? You have deleted this relationship, reason: "Incorrect" (Who? What?), but have left a couple of sources attached, to both parents and son, that prove it was correct.
Do you think he was not the father of one (or more) of the children? Which one(s)? You have left all the children attached to him but have detached all of them from their mother, reason: "Incorrect" (Who? What?), and have left all the sources attached to children, father and mother that prove these relationships were correct.
You need to work out what is wrong before you try to fix it. If you can tell us what you think is wrong someone here will no doubt try to help.

Maren Kirstine Andersen
26 November 1874 – Deceased
• LQRB-GKW
These are the wrong parents of Maren Kirstine Andersen and thus their children are not in the family either. They come from a completely different place in the country. I have attached Maren's birth 26 November 1874 where parents are listed
and marriage 31 May 1873 for her real parents.

I have received notification of two comments here by @MortenThorup, both immediately deleted. Not sure what the problem is. Try again?

OK. Thanks for the clarification.
So, if I understand correctly, Maren Kirstine Andersen LQRB-GKW was the daughter of Hans Andersen and Ane Margrette Rasmussen, but not this Hans Andersen K86C-4WZ and his (second) wife Anne Margrete Rasmusen KZLQ-XZR. An easy mistake to make. It looks like this was done in 2019, with further sources added in 2020.
I think the easiest way forward is to go to Maren's details page, and where she is listed under Hans Andersen K86C-GKW (along with all his other children), click on the little pencil icon next to her name. Then click on "-Remove or Replace", then "Remove". This will delete the relationship between Maren and Hans K86C-4WZ. You will need to check for sources and information still attached to the wrong Hans, and detach them.
Then on Maren's page you can add the correct parents. And attach the sources to them.
That still leaves the problem of Hans K86C-4WZ and his parents, his two wives, and their children, that have all been split up. Are you up to fixing all that or would you like me to do it for you?
edit to add: I see your reply has disappeared again. Fortunately I managed to read it before it went.
