I created a custom view on the Demand table and added an additional section named "Label". I am now trying to remove this section, but I’m unable to edit or delete it through Form Designer. Additionally, the section is not appearing in the sys_ui_section table, which makes it difficult to identify and remove.

From your second screenshot, the "Quote Customer" tab is throwing "Fail to retrieve section information — This section is associated with a different form view" and "Can't retrieve content." This typically means that section was created under a different view name than the one you're currently looking at. This reinforces that the view association might be mismatched — confirming the records exist but are linked to an unexpected view.
If none of the above surface the record, as a last resort you can run a background script (be cautious, test in sub-prod first):
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_ui_section');
gr.addQuery('name', 'demand'); // also try 'dmn_demand'
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
gs.info('Section: ' + gr.title + ' | View: ' + gr.view.getDisplayValue() + ' | SysID: ' + gr.sys_id);
}
This will log every section for the Demand table regardless of view, helping you pinpoint the orphaned "Label" section for deletion.

looks like you are not in correct view which has that section
1) ensure you are in correct form view
2) then do this
right click on the form -> configure -> Form design and remove the section you want my click (X) button and Save.
