Jim,
Just remove the "Free" version from the PM. It's not too bright, so you have to tell it you don't want those tables any longer. You could probably do the same thing with a Rebuild Project, but it might simply ask you about each one.

Hope you got home OK with the storm - it looks like a bad one back East.
