How can I delete wrong input
I have a problem in the tree of my family, Sicke Ruydts van Albada GTG3-WZP who isd born in the year 1150 has been given a father who i born in the year 1325. Thats not correct, in fact, when I go up in the tree I find this person Sicke Ruydts van Albada GTG3-WZP who is born in the year 1150 again. That means that all the familymembers in between are placed for the second time in the tree. How can I remove them? The person numbers who are double are GTG3-758, LX94-SNV, GGDM-TZ6, GTGS-YFH, GZ$Z-HQ1, GTGS-KCK, GTGS-GMT, and than are we back at number GTGS-WZP. How can I solve this problem?

@Anne van Zinderen the first think that I notice when looking at GTG3-WZP is that there are no sources for this individual, or the parents. Before anything can be fixed, there have to be documented, attached sources.

Sounds like you've got a looping pedigree, and have already identified the error that caused it. Removing the impossible parent-child relationship between Sicke Ruyrdts van Albada GTG3-WZP and his parents (Ruyrdt van Rotterdam Albada GTG3-758 and Magdalena Sickes GTGS-J3R) should fix both the loop and the "Child Born before Father" data problem.
Here's a Help Center article on looping pedigrees: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-solve-a-looping-pedigree-in-family-tree.
I agree with Rhonda, though, that finding sources for these people should be the next step. Without those, it may as well all be fiction. (Add a time machine to the story and even the impossible dates can work.)
