Unwanted Thrulines suggestions

[Sloe Gin]

Suddenly my Thrulines chart has blossomed like a fruit tree in spring with suggested ancestors to evaluate.  In many cases I know that they are not the right people, because my ancestor had a namesake who has been eliminated, and these are the parents of the namesake. 

Unfortunately some people seize on the first name they find without searching forward to see where they appear in the next census, or if there is a burial record for them, etc. This is why these rogues have appeared in my chart.

My question is - How do I get rid of them?  I am invited to "evaluate" them whereupon I'm provided with a list of folk who've added them to their trees, and invited to add them to mine.  But unlike the Hints, I can't see any option to ignore or dismiss.

I wish there was that feature too... to say "hide this, I don't agree with it". I have a situation with several people who have all copied each other and I disproved their research in about five minutes through easily accessible information. I'm forever getting their wrong ancestors coming up on Thrulines and hints and I wish I could get rid of them!

ignore the sugestion but if you dont have a top to this tree youcould add a father called NOT john ..or whatever theirs says

at top of 1 branch i had james yate sailor who several trees had assigned to rech parents

i found the baptism which clearly showed a single mother  so added father as lover of ; not yayes ?
and tagged his profile as being from region + not taken to court ...havent ruled out endogamy but it removes the suggestions + thru lies to the affluent legally married Yates

You can filter the green rubbish out by using filters. Select "Ancestors in your linked tree" and you won't see all of the incorrect green ancestors.

Thanks Gail - it works really well. Hadn't tried that option previously.

Does that get rid of them all?  I was hoping there was a way to delete the ones I know to be wrong.

There are a lot that I haven't looked into, and some of them may be right, or at least people that I haven't ruled out.

I found an article dealing with this situation, but it is not helpful.
https://support.ancestry.co.uk/s/article/Potential-Mother-and-Father-Hints

I don't see "Review Details" or anything that follows from that.  I just see "Evaluate" which only brings up the list of trees where the individual appears.

I've left feedback pointing this out.  Hopefully it will be fixed.

    In your tree, click on a Potential relative.
    Click Review Details.

    To see records or photos attached to the potential parent, click Records or Photos.
    To see family members connected to the person, click Family.

    Choose whether to accept the potential relative.
        Yes adds the person to your tree.
        No deletes the potential relative hint, and you won't see it again. To confirm, click Ignore.
        Maybe leaves the hint as-is.

It's basically pointing you to the trees they are sourcing the hints from, I tend to open each tree/hint in a new tab then open the profile of the tree owner to see if they are a dna match to me. Not everyone tests obviously and not everyone is a descendant of the person in the hint but I have found a few matches that way after building their tree myself.

That's not what it's supposed to do though.  According to the info in the support topic, quoted above, it's supposed to give you the same options as the Hints.

What we want to do is to get rid of the suggestions we know to be wrong, but currently there's no way to do this on an individual basis.

As for them being DNA matches, many of them will be because of the rest of the line. 
Say someone has my Fred Bloggs in their tree and they have his father as Joe Bloggs, but I have established that Joe is the father of a different, unrelated Fred Bloggs.  They have pursued the wrong Fred.
The tree owner may well be a DNA match with me, but that's via Fred and not Joe.
