I accidentally bookmarked a thread. I deleted the bookmark. However, I still see a greyed-out bookmark next to the thread title and I’ve been unsuccessful at removing this. I don’t know if it’s an artifact or what. Is there a way to remove it? Thanks.

Sounds like cached information. When I delete a bookmark, the icon disappears from the thread title.

Clear your cache, or do a shift-F5, or just wait a day and I’d guess it will be gonem

Thanks. It’s been weeks since I started trying to clear it. I just cleared my cache. No luck.

Are you sure you deleted all bookmarks in the thread? Maybe you bookmarked two posts and only deleted one bookmark?
