How to remove/fix weird vertices/geometry?

I'm having a problem where weird vertices has been generated as a result of a bevel. This makes me unable to correctly bevel another edge which is nearby.

It doesn't look too bad so I'm pretty sure it could easily be fixed manually, however I have no idea how to.

 

I'm more used to Blender where this could easily be solved by removing the weird vertices, and creating new, better ones myself. But I can't seem to delete the vertices at all so I'm not sure how I should clean it up.

 

Here's a picture of the bad vertices:

I managed to fix it by deleting the edges instead of vertices, however other tips would still be helpful in case I encounter this in the future 😃

Hi!

Use Delete Vertex, or Delete Edge/Vertex.

I did use that but it would for some reason not let me delete the vertices. It would only let me delete the edges.

Hi!

I mean the commend "Delete Vertex" and not selecting a vertex and use "Delete", that's different.

(You can only delete a Vertex with "Delete" if it's only connected to 2 edges)

 

If you are sure you are using the correct command please upload a scene-file showing the problem.

Did not know about that.

That will most likely be very useful in the future, thank you!
