Unable to deactivate Service Catalog item

I have a catalog item that appears to be orphaned (in Utah). Looking at https://<instance>.service-now.com/sp -> Request Something -> select the category, I see two items which I believe were created separately, but have the same name. One has a logo and works as expected so I was asked to remove the second one.

 

I grabbed the sys_id of the duplicate item and found it in the sc_cat_item_list table, but when I click the name to open it, ServiceNow shows, "Record not found". So I tried adding a checkmark in the list view and clicking the Deactivate button. The list reloads, but the item remains active. Finally, I tried changing the value of "active" from true to false right in the column. That showed no errors, but when I refreshed the list, the value returned to "true".

 

Looking at all the items in the sc_cat_item_list table, I do see two entries with the same name and different "updated" dates and the one I want to keep is editable by clicking the name to open the record.

 

How can I get rid of this duplicate?
