Default Cannot Delete Section Break (Odd Page)

I have a section break in my document, which is off the type (Odd Page).
This forces the next section to star on an even page which is not what I want.

I have tried modifying the Section Start attribute to be next page, even
page and even continuous. (It seems to hold the configuration setting but
has no effect and does not changethe type of the original section break. (It
still appears with the same name).
Being unable to edit it , I'd be happy if I could delete it.
I have inserted a new section break before this unwanted one and when I
select it (in order to do this I find I nmust change to Outline Mode. I
cannot select it while in Print or Normal View)

When I select the break and hit delete, Word deletes the preceding section
(or if it does delet the one selected, immediately assigns its attributes to
the preceding one)Either way I am back to square one.
