Ah, that's a good hint. That could have been caused when matching to the
correct payee. I need to check that.

No, since the problem will remain in the data file. You can try to edit the
transactions in question, assign them a different payee manually and then save
them. Then do the same but using the correct payee. Once you're done with all
those 6 transactions, you should be able to delete the payee. Please report
back your findings.
