Go to the deletionrequest component and click on 'Delete this component' at the bottom of the page.(If we end up with thousands and thousands of invalid bugs, we can have a discussion about if/when to delete them at a later date).If a bug is invalid and bad, we can just leave it in that state for now.Often random bugs will show up with this component, and my general rule is that only bugs *clearly created for testing purposes* should be deleted.Go through the list linked above and confirm that everything really needs to be deleted.
