I am not sure why you can not delete them, have you saved the file as
*.odt and then try editing.

Yep, tried that — same problems.

Fields can be updated, using Tools>>Update>>Fields (F9).

Tried this too, still nothing.

Are there other conditions under which sections of a document can
become read only? Perhaps the fields thing is a red herring.
