I accidentally hit Ctrl+Enter, which added an erroneous translation segment to the TM, and now I want to delete it. Is there a way to do this? In Trados Studio I can right click on the segment in the Results window and select "Delete from TM", but I don't see any way to do this in Phrase.

According to the Phrase Help:
If the new segment has the same source and context, but with a different target than another segment, the new segment will overwrite the pre-existing segment. This is also applied if no context is available.
Type a new translation and confirm it. It takes some time for the TM to update, so even if you see both translations (previous and new) shortly after you confirm a segment, you have to give it time and return to that segment say in 20 minutes ... See more
