(Hidden?) zotero bookmarks in librewriter and custom properties
Zotero 5.069 and LibreOffice 6.2.4.2
I write in OpenOffice and my supervisors use word. It appears my documents have "hidden" bookmarks from previously deleted zotero bookmarks. They don't show up in Writer under bookmarks but under file>properties>custom properties in writer there are hundreds of them.
Their extensions/label looks like something like this under: ZOTERO_BREF_2NFQkRjN1HZk_9 or this: ZOTERO_BREF_Lbuqg5U50Xgy_2 my experience with cleaning up writer documents and bookmarks in the past is that these are likely superfolous. The bookmarks that are "healthy" are shown something like this in writer (not in custom properties) ZOTERO_BREF_UVd0TYSkMTu2
Screenshot here https://www.dropbox.com/s/5r40blek14mpreg/ZotWrit troubleshoot.PNG
Any advice as to what's happening here? I don't really understand how custom properties work in zotero and therefore writer but it seems like the cause of the issue in the first place is me inserting, then either deleting the citation later... or inserting, editing the citation directly (either deliberately or inadvertedly) then later deleting.
Note, the superfolous bookmarks also show up in word too under custom properties.
Thanks for any advice.

If you take a look at the screenshot for the items listed on the left - many of those have been removed or deleted and don't exist in the document. But they still exist under custom properties.
The ones on the right (ie. under bookmarks) are all fine.
Does that make sense?
I had a larger document with multiple chapters (let's say) Ch1,2,3,4.
I split the larger document into 4 separate documents, and it looks like, for example, Ch 3 has metadata from references from Ch 2, even though they don't share the same references nor the same bookmarks*. This was the same for the other chapters.
I guess when I split it (and deleted the other sections not needed) is when the issue arose.
*not sure if this is the right language, but using "bookmarks" for those I can see in LO under bookmarks heading and "metadata" for the items listed under properties>custom properties
If you really want to delete the old bookmarks, one possible workaround might be to convert the document to use ReferenceMarks, delete all the remaining custom properties, and then convert it back to Bookmarks. (I'm not sure if there's some problem with that that I'm not thinking of.)
My workaround for the Grammarly side at the moment is to start afresh and redo the bookmarks and citations.
