Default Why do old, unused values still show in my Pivot Page fields?

When I originally created a PivotTable based on an Access database, for one
of the page fields I used a certain set of range values (i.e. 560-600,
600-650, etc.). We've decided the range values need to be different & I
recreated & replaced the data in the Access DB with the new range values.
But, my PivotTable still shows the old, unused values along with the new,
correct ones. I don't want to recreate the PivotTable because I've created a
large number of calculated fields. How do I get rid of the unwanted range
values in that Page field?

There are instructions here for clearing old items from a PivotTable
dropdown list:

How do you keep the old ones and prevent the new ones from appearing?
