How do I fix a very obvious cost basis error?

Question

JPMORGAN TR II - LIQUID ASSETS MONEY MKT FD INVSECU  QABKQ
 Everything has been sold.  When I look through the activity it shows small $$$ in and out.  However, the cost basis is showing as $92,233,720,368,546,728.85

This value was originally tied to one specific sale.  When I went in and re-selected the First In the value went away.  However, it just moved to the top alongside the JPMORGAN TR II  but not linking to any specific sale.

Validate & Repair seems to see this but at the end says that "the value is too large."  I'm assuming this is the value that's too large.

I could delete the entire TR II since it's now empty, but I'm afraid the problem will simply move elsewhere in that account.

You can search this site for the 92-quadrillion problem and find a few applicable solutions.  Fundamentally, you probably need to delete and re-enter some applicable (difficult to determine) transactions.

One solution I recall involved creating a second similar security, editing the transactions to refer to the mew version of the security, then deleting the old (problematic) security.
