removing unwanted members in allowed fields from the Process Editor-->Work Item Field Explorer in TFS 2008

Question

I have unwanted members in the String Collection Editor that I would like to remove.  These are coming from deleted projects and removed work items.  The Add and Remove buttons are disabled in the String Collection Editor.  I am set up as an Admin in Team Foundation, I am not an Admin on the server it is running on. 

ex. I created a Team Project named: AgileDevProject this was deleted with TFSDeleteProject, site Sharepoint site removed. This project no longer shows up when I try "Add Existing Team Project" in Team Explorer.  But if I go to Tools->Process Editor->Work Item Field Explorer select System.TeamProject click the elipsis on Allowed Values and the String Collection Editor opens the project I deleted is still there.

How do I /can I get rid of these unwanted members?  I have deleted the projects, deleted the work items, etc... but they continue to persist. I understand there is history to these so if I cannot get rid of them is there a way to hide them?

Thanks

Hi zziegler,

I think it is impossible to remove them.
