Default Unable to delete styles

If the styles in question are built-in styles, note that they cannot be
deleted.

I have a coworker with a totally messed up document that has about 50
different bullet styles. I think he has automatic style creation turned
on.
Anyway using the Styles and Formatting dialog, I was trying to help him
consolidate them by selecting all instances one style and then clicking
clicking on another style to change styles. When I try to delete old
styles,
they are not actually deleted but keep showing up on the list with
instances.
Any ideas on what would cause such styles to be so stubborn?
