Deleted Character Issues

I HAD an issue that I now managed to resolve while investigating it to write this bug report, but since I'd written this already I thought I'd raise it here since I only managed to fix it by chance and something was clearly deleted only partially before, and it caused me a lot of issues.   I created a test character - Seraphina - to see how things worked, before committing to paying for a subscription. I bought my subscription and deleted her, planning to start from scratch, however after deletion she was still in my character list. I though maybe it just took time, but I created another Seraphina (the 'real' one I wanted) and now I have 2 'Seraphina's in the character list.   If I try to click on either of them, one of two things happen: 1. Nothing, it just closes the menu and I remain on the page I'm on 2. I get redirected to a 404 Hobbits not Found page I've found which I get depends on where I click on it from. If the latter happens, I then start getting the same 404 error when I click on other pages, eg. my protagonist page on my campaign.

Steps to Reproduce

I've found I can reproduce getting the 404 error when I: 1. Open my world to edit my campaign page, this is this URL for me: https://www.worldanvil.com/heroes/campaign/c144f28c-54f4-4ad8-881e-1b2dfd5d2a6c/dashboard 2. Go to my Supporting Cast (NPCs) page: https://www.worldanvil.com/heroes/campaign/character/list/non?type=npc 3. Click on either of the Seraphina options in the dropdown in the top left > I then get the 404 error 4. From the 404 page, I click back and then when I click on any of the options on the campaign page (protagonist, parties, plot, etc) I get the same 404 page again. 5. To stop it from happening I have to hit refresh when I am on the working campaign page (not a 404 page).   This is where I managed to fix it, I went to the world view (Panem: https://www.worldanvil.com/world/f59c3908-8509-4dc6-9e98-95ee0264ea99/summary) and then when I clicked on the characters I was actually taken to them, allowing me to fully delete the character. I'm not sure where I deleted it from before, but I must have managed to delete it in part where now I've deleted it in full. Thought I'd raise anyway so you can see what went wrong.

On continued investigation, I seem to get the 404 error quite a lot while trying to navigate to character sheets from anywhere but the landing page when you select the world.

Hello Sammy, just to clarify - 1. are you trying to view or edit the sheets 2. are these sheets, sheets created by you or other members of your party 3. if others, do they have set those sheets to be "shared" ?
