Where did you see this?  command line output?  Of what command?  In a 
log file?  Which log file?  Can you post the exact error message along 
with the context?

Can you post the output?

What does "get it straight" mean?  Does it mean you ran some commands?  
If so, what commands did you run and what was the result?

Deleting and recreating the replica will not remove the replication 
conflict if the conflict has been replicated to other servers.

This document doesn't say anything about resolving replica conflict 
entries by deleting and re-adding replicas:

What exactly did you do?
