Cannot delete a Trigger that attached itself like a virus.

In Storyline 2, I was trying to create a variable and trigger to keep the narration from playing again when a user pressed the TRY AGAIN button in a quiz.
I was following this tutorial: https://vimeo.com/145579332
But when it wasn't working, I tried to delete the trigger and start again, but I could not delete it. In fact, now the trigger is on every slide in my project and I can't delete it from anywhere.
I tried changing where the trigger was pointing, but still could not delete it. I even tried deleting all three quiz slides and starting from scratch, but the trigger was still there - probably because it is now on all slides anyway.
I am at a loss. I've attached the storyline. Thank you.

Did you say this is SL 2? What is the problem trigger? The only trigger I found on every Try Again layer was the "Change state of Next Button to Disabled When the timeline starts on this slide", and I could delete it from every one. Try downloading the story from here and see if that helps.
You're right. After I read your response, I looked back to my original and the problem trigger was gone on all the slides except the three quiz slides and I was now able to delete it without a problem. Very strange. Thanks for reaching out Walt.
It's surprising how many inexplicable SL problems can be solved by completely closing SL and re-opening it.
