How do you get rid of the "No Children" fact?

I have an ancestor who had 10 children, yet I see he is getting dinged for a "No Children" fact. I have no idea where that is coming from. I see nothing stated on his profile that says he has no children. How do you turn it off?

Look under the Facts section on the profile. There is the option to add "No Children" there. Someone may have added that fact in error.
You can click the pencil icon to edit/remove the fact.

Here's an example on a relative of mine who did not marry and had no children.

Hope that helps.

This is an example of the Data Quality Checker doing a good job pointing out something that can otherwise be very hard to find.

@JohnFreeman35 If you still can't get rid of the flag, you can always post the ID of the person here for further help in finding the problem.
