How to remove a wrong spouse entry?

I am tearing out my hair here 😖. On a grandmother line, someone has added the 'right name' but wrong birth date & birth place to a ggg grandmother. Some sources links give correct cenus information which matches to who the correct entry should be, but isn't, but the rest link to another woman. When I click on the sources or details of the 'wrong person' added, all information pertains to another wife and family altogether 🙀

I don't want to click on anything that might erase the other family, whoever they are.

Can anyone please advise on how to correct this problem?

Much gratitude in advance.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Just quickly ...

    Question: Have you 'looked' at/through, the "ChangeLog", for the individual/person concerned?

    The "ChangeLog", lists, the various "Changes" ...

    Just in case ...

    The "ChangeLog: is/can be located, on the 'Right-Hand-Side' of an individual/person, under the Section of "Latest Changes"; and, then, at the 'Bottom' of that Section, "Show All.

    Or ...

    ie. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/[PID]

    ..... [ Where, [PID], at end, represents the 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID), for the individual/person concerned ]

    IF, you have a 'look' through, the "ChangeLog"; THEN, that will show where things went astray ...

    [ eg, Including 'Wayward' "Merges"/"Combines"; which, can always make a 'Mess' of things ... ]

    And, you can work on, addressing/fixing those things, for the individual/person concerned.

    Here is a "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

    How do I see what changes were made about a person in Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-see-what-changes-have-been-made-about-a-person-in-family-tree

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-see-what-changes-have-been-made-about-a-person-in-family-tree

    Good Luck.

    Just my thoughts.

    I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

    Furthermore ...

    Just in case ...

    Here is another "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

    A person in Family Tree has the wrong spouse

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/a-person-in-family-tree-has-the-wrong-spouse

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/a-person-in-family-tree-has-the-wrong-spouse

    I hope, that this may also help/assist, somewhat.
