I'm working on a site which has some incorrect permalinks contains 'home-2' e.g.  `http://example.com/home-2/pagetitle/`. I have no way of knowing where `home-2` came from and manually editing the permalink in the page editor only allows me to edit the `pagetitle` portion.

[This question][1] seems relevant but refers to the post title and not the portion of the URL I need to change.

So how might this `home-2` situation have occurred. Perhaps a category or parent page? There are no posts or pages in the trash with that name. And how can I remove it without using a plugin such as [this][2] to reset the permalinks?

**UPDATE**

There is a `wp_posts` record in the database for the page with title 'Home' which has the `post_name` field set to 'home-2'.
