Issue deleting checkbox "other" option

I appreciate any help I can get with this. I have built a form that used checkbox "other" option at the end of every checkbox list. But the short code I was using on the reports page I built (I do not have the version that allows Styles to be built) it shows all the other answers, but the "others" answer the user typed in does not show up. (I can see it on the entries, but I don't want to extract it manually for my client.) So I am going to delete the "other" checkbox, and add something that says "something else" like "alternative" (because every time I type "Other" the other checkbox pops up.) and have it conditionally trigger a text box, which I know I can build reporting for. I did this on another form and it worked fine. The thing that isn't working is deleting the "other" checkboxes I already have added. I keep refreshing the cache, but they just don't go away. Nor am I able to see the delete button anymore for them.  I'll attach a screen shot - the top checkbox is what I am aiming for. The bottom one has the "ghost" "Other" option that can't be deleted. Please help me with this if you can!! Is there a way to turn off the "other" option? Or a trick to deleting it? Chris

Is this a caching issue? When I add to the form, those changes are saved. I just can't delete the "other" checkbox.

Alternately, is the a way in the html to remove the text box that accompanies the "other" checkbox?
