Use the File Details to remove/delete unwanted changes from your mod.

1) Load Oblivion CS. Select File->Data. Select your mod as the active file. Click OK. Wait for your mod to load into the editor.

2) After your mod is loaded in the CS, select File->Data again. Select the your mod and click the Details tab.

3) In the File Details window, scroll down to find the entry you want to remove and click to highlight it. Press the Delete key on your keyboard. (Not the Backspace key). Click Yes when asked for confirmation that the Ignore flag should be toggled. You'll now see an I next to that entry in the File Details window. Click Close to close the File Details window and OK to close the Data window. The CS will now reload your mod without the Ignored value.

4) After your mod has finished reloading in the editor, select File->Save. This will remove any Ignored values, which you should confirm via the Details tab. You shouldn't see any reference to the removed entry on the Details tab at all. If you still do, the reference hasn't been completely cleaned.

You can use the same method to remove multiple unwanted entries. Use Ctrl and Shift-clicks to select multiple entries before pressing Delete.
