Help - I've put a number in by mistake in 5th row, 5th column - and now can't get rid of it! No amount of trying to delete it or put a different number in makes any difference.

Yes, there's a good reason for that! The digit at 5,5 is a GIVEN digit that you started the puzzle with. You can't change it because you didn't enter it.
When you solve a puzzle you can't delete or change the numbers you start with. You can only change the numbers in the empty squares, just like in a newspaper puzzle you wouldn't white out the given numbers and change them.
You can recognise given numbers because they are bold and black, whereas numbers you enter are roman and blue. And also, you can't change the given numbers. :)

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
