vc 2.1.0.5 (tested with 2.0.1.0 also with the same results)
I am seeing multiple scenes in the scenes editor that i do not have in my Hue app/site.   It appears that it is keeping the edits to scenes as scenes.  The extra repeated scenes are not the same.  According to the hue app and site I have 9 scenes.
I have deleted the xmls from huepayloads, restarted, and even without the xml's there, it is seeing the scenes/groups/lights.    I have renames folders that are  in my backups just in case there is some sort of static link in setup.
Is this by chance normal?  Is there a way i can edit out scenes I don't want to use?  Maybe i am just missing a step in a process.

Those are the scenes that are stored on your bridge. You can't remove scenes from the bridge, but you can modify and/or rename them.

Scenes are not officially supported by the api at all.

You can also remove or edit items in your payload XML files, but next time you generate XML the file will be overwritten.

Thanks for the explanation.
