How do I remove one tablix that's stuck inside another

I was moving tablixes around my page and ended up with some stuck inside the header row of another like so;

enter image description here It definitely isn't overlaid, I have that going on with my other tablixes at the top of the page, as intended. These have somehow merged so when I try to grab the corner handle I have to click it multiple times to turn into the move handle and then only the main table is moveable, I can't grab and move the tables that have merged into the bigger one.

It's stopped the report from running and I can't find a way to take it out, I can't undo past a certain point either as I saved and rebooted my PC before I realised it was this problem that was causing my errors.

Does anyone know any way to take the damn things back out or do I have to redo hours of work? :'(
