Can't delete old maintenance plan job

In SQL 2005, I've migrated my old SQL 2000 maintenance plans to the new
format and I'm trying to delete a couple of migrated plans that I've redone.
I've managed to delete the plans, but the jobs for those plans are still
left. When I try to delete a job, I get the following error:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint
"FK_subplan_job_id". The conflict occurred in database "msdb", table
"dbo.sysmaintplan_subplans", column 'job_id'.
The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 547)
I know what the error means, of course, but I'm not sure about the best way
to solve it. Thanks!Solved it myself -- I had to manually go into the system tables and delete
some orphaned references between the maintenance plans and jobs.
