Resetting a Corrupted Game

I was attempting to create an ability that used nested queries, which ultimately called other abilities.  A mistake corrupted the game.  Afterwards, when typing anything in the chat, clicking on an ability, or clicking on any action on a character sheet, the game would only respond with the template [Shadow is transformed by Ariel of the Fey into a large Sky Chimera with a level 6 spell] and the fixed response to an ability Stoop (Spell Level 6, Recharge 5-6), Chimera Transform , Damage 43 slashing, Description... The game would report these to items at startup as well.  The template was what I was trying to call from my queries, but the ability was unrelated.   I deleted all content from the game, and removed all mods, to no avail.  I exported the character sheets to the vault and imported them into another game, and they work fine.   I've had this corruption occur multiple times.  My guess is that I'm somehow conflating my ability to a macro via a mistake in my code, where an incorrect html code is being interpreted as a macro.  I did find an 'untitled' macro in the game, and deleted it, to no avail. I would like to fix or reset the corrupted game without having to delete it and create a new one.  Loss of data in the game is not a concern, as it is my playground for developing macro's and abilities (so I don't corrupt a real game).   Thanks!

Malformed macros can corrupt the chat archive.  On the game details/launch page, one of the options from the setting drop down is to delete the chat archive.  Do that, and things should start rolling again.
