Hope do I remove a boundary exception?

I’m our stake clerk. One of our wards recently had a member move in, but she has a current boundary exception approval from 2022 to attend a ward in another state. I don’t see a way to remove it. Her record is in the ward, so this feels like it’s just housekeeping. Is this something I can do?
Cease to be idle; cease to be unclean; cease to find fault one with another; cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated

I contacted the GSD about one of those a while back and after transferring me to the correct department, the department person basically said don't worry about it and they could not change it. We cannot fix it locally either. It remains to this day.

Re: How do I remove a boundary exception?

That feels right but it also feels like cleanup needs to happen. I opened a case from LCR to ask about it. If that actually bears fruit, I'll follow up here. Thanks!

It's possible it's left there in case they need to change wards again. They may not want to clear the permission until the member leaves the general area to minimize the risk they'll be back asking the First Presidency for another exception.
