Maya - can't delete verts/edges with no face
I have this triangle that is floating in my mesh that has no selectable face and i can't delete by selecting it's points or edges. Maya gives me an error but it's a little over my head. I tried the cleanup option but it didn't do anything. below is the error
Warning: polySewEdge5 (Poly Sew Edge Node): No edges were merged, for one of the following reasons:
// - the threshold is too small,
// - face normals of faces adjacent to edges being merged point in opposite directions,
// - the edges and/or contained vertices are nonmanifold.
// - the edges belong to different polygon objects.
// You can solve this problem in one of these ways:
// 1) Edit the Threshold,
// 2) Fix up the face normals using Normals,
// 3) Remove nonmanifold edges or vertices using Cleanup,
// 4) Use Merge as an alternative.
// 5) Use Combine first to create a single object.
after deleting history i get a different error:
// Warning: Border edges cannot be deleted //

select -tgl pCube3.vtx[117] ;
select -tgl pCube3.vtx[147] ;

i merged a couple of the points in that tri and it just disappeared.
