Hmm, OK, thanks for trying -- you should never have to send raw XML
anyway, but sometimes that's the only way to fix things.

What happens if you try to remove "icq.jabber.ccc.de" instead of
"icq.jabber.ccc.de/registered"?

This *may* be a problem on the server you're using, or it may be that
the item is cached in the client somehow. In the end you could contact
your server administrator about it -- I know that on jabber.org I can
execute a database query to remove such items (and I've been forced to
do that in the past).
