Grid Renaming Issue - Says name is taken, but it's not listed in schedule

Hello - I'm trying to rename my grid lines and Revit is telling me "F" is already used, but when I create a schedule with all of my grids documented, there is no "F". What am I missing here?

Do you have any filters applied to your schedule?

Secondly, maybe it's your version of Revit (I've never worked with 2023) but the error warning I get is much more informative.

I figured out how can get the warning with more information. When you change the Grid Name from the properties menu, you get the basic warning that you see. If you change the Grid Name by selecting the grid, clicking on the grid head, and typing in the new Grid Name, then you'll get the warning that will give you the ID of the problem elements. You can use that ID to find the grid that is causing your issue.

Nice! That worked thanks. Weird it wasn't indexed. Also strange when I did it via the grid head, it showed up right next to it. I thought maybe it was hidden, but when I hit the bulb to show hidden, also not there. Strange.

 

Thanks for the assist
