Site still starred after bookmark has been deleted

I was clearing old bookmarks and noticed that one site still shows up in autocomplete and is starred even though the associated bookmark has been deleted. Also, when I try to visit the site and go to the Edit Bookmark dialogue box by clicking on the site, it redirects to the main site which is no longer starred. Deleted the site from my browser history does not get rid of the star either so it still shows up in autocomplete after being deleted. Please help me get rid of this site!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
