Unable to open or delete saved search

(May have reported twice accidentally!)

I created two saved searches that are evidently broken or too complex somehow, and when I click on either I get the message "Error loading items list" and then cannot open any other collections.

The searches aren't important to me, but I want to delete them so I don't accidentally click them since they don't work and break the rest of my library.

When I right click I don't get any context menu, and so can't delete the searches.

A solution to get rid of the searches would be appreciated!

    Can you provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for reproducing this?

    Sorry for the delay. I recreated the problematic search and then clicked around a few folders. Debug ID D1951938134

    I managed to sort out deleting the searches using a command given in a similar old thread but would be good to know why the search consistently breaks!

    I have also experienced the broken Saved Search that comes up with "Error loading items list", stops Zotero working (until restart), and cannot be deleted in the usual way. See my 3rd para here:
