First question is which version are you using?  If you are using a 5.1 
version, what happens if you try a development/master version?

Ctl-Shift-F (Transactions/Find) and just enter that complete T.... 
number.  That will show you the transaction.

If the Payee has no transaction, what is preventing you from removing 
it?  However, if you get a popup that you can't remove the payee because 
of a transaction, but no transactions appear in the Payee View, it would 
be important to know the details.
