Reference list appears an citation I already delete

Ivy.ng

The reference I wish to delete still appears in my reference list. I use the Vancouver citation. I tried to searche for the in text citation using that number in the ref list, I couldn't find it in the text. I tried to visually scope it by searching the one number ahead and after that paper, it still not exists in the text! It's a 10,000+ words file and I am not possible to re-write it again. It drives me crazy. Hoping any kind person can help me address this issue.

You have to click Refresh after deleting the citation in the document to update the bibliography.

If you've done that, a copy of the citation still exists somewhere in the document — possibly as a partial field. Assuming this is Word, you can toggle Word field codes to try to find it.
