To remove this bad survey from the Deviation Survey, you must navigate to the Directional Survey tab in the Well's folder and "Ignore" the bad survey. If you "Delete" the bad survey, ZoneVu will replace the deleted survey on the next RigStream Update. See below for a detailed walkthrough on how to remove a bad survey.
