Need to delete news item with error in it

I made the mistake of adding a news item with a double dash in the name and didn't preview before saving. Consequently, if I include the blog macros the entire home and blog, with the exception of the welcome/intro (and a new news item, is double-strikethrough. I know I could delete a news item if I clicked on the permalink for it but, of course, because of the strikethrough I can't do that. At the moment I have excluded the blog macros so the rest of the home/blog appears and is workable, but there is no news. I have tried editing every page I can think of, but no way to get to that news item. I don't much care if I have the old news items, so if the only way is to somehow get rid of all those, I'm fine with that. Question is...how dod I do that? Thanks!
