I allow edits on my tree so that family members can add their immediate family members. I also like the tremendous amount of information that can be accessed way back in history due to curators merging with my family. However, I recently had a person add to my my great grandfathers profile but it was already there and some of it was unknown or incorrect. Now it appears as though my grandfather had two families I can’t delete what was added because it says the account is private. He listed himself as a manager as well. I’ve since blocked the person but how do I remove what he added to my tree and remove him as a manager? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Blocking a person have the boomerang effect that you block your own access to this persons private profiles even if within your own family group access and also contacting this manager. Fair enough.

Do not know which of these work while blocked -- you may have to unblock for a few minutes -- then (assuming he has not also blocked you)

Push the pushpin on your great grandfather, so it will show relationships to him - then click on that other Geni User -- what is his relationship to your great grandfather? And thru what path?
If he is connected thru folks he mistakenly connected, post a message asking to have XXXX disconnected from YYYY (giving links to XXXX and YYYY) as his (whatever the relationship is) - you may have to explain how you know the connection is wrong
This Discussion was created especially for those types of requests https://www.geni.com/discussions/216411

If Geni does not see him as closely related, you can remove him as a manager of your great grandfather (or any other of your relatives he is a manager of) - https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/229704067-What-are-my-manag...

If the problem is there are duplicate copies now of some of your relatives, you can merge them - several ways discussed here https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/229705547-How-do-I-merge-du...
